University of the Arts London (www.arts.ac.uk) is a hotbed of creativity, innovation and invention across the knowledge economy. Drawing together six Colleges with international reputations in art, design, fashion, communication and performing arts, UAL is a fundamental part of the UK’s creative ecology – the fastest growing sector of the UK’s economy. UAL works with a wide range of commercial and institutional organisations within the world of the Arts, including the Tate and the National Theatre, all benefiting from the fresh talent and new ideas of UAL students. UAL is hugely international, with a reputation that attracts over 18,000 students from over 100 countries, creating a vibrant, multi-cultural community environment.

The Estates Directorate provides a number of core services across the University’s 16 academic sites including facilities management, management of c. 12 student residences hubs, catering and commercial services, sustainability and energy management, estate management, project management, and property developments.
