University
Teaching, research and campus estates: how universities employ and commission the built environment professions, and who is hiring.
Knowledge
Working with universities.
Universities touch architecture twice: they train the profession, and they build on a grand scale. Careers here run through teaching and research, or through the estates departments that plan and deliver campus buildings.
Many architects teach part-time alongside practice, and the exchange works both ways: studios gain currency, and teaching gains reality. On the estates side, universities act as sophisticated long-term clients, employing design managers and project managers to run programmes that shape whole campuses.
This hub gathers the live picture for university-linked roles: who is hiring, which institutions are building, and the conversations shaping this corner of the industry.
- It has three doors
Teaching, research and estates are three different career doors, and each suits a different temperament.
- Practice and teaching mix
Many practitioners teach part-time alongside practice, and studios value the connection.
- Estates are big clients
University estates departments are major clients, running campuses worth billions.
