Useful Information

The Estates Team is responsible for:

  • Undertaking capital construction projects to build modern and efficient buildings fit for a 21st century research led University 
  • The design, development and refurbishment of rooms and buildings on the Aston estate such as lecture theatres and office spaces 
  • The maintenance of equipment, buildings, rooms and landscapes on the estate including gardening and cleaning services 
  • Embedding sustainability into all the Univeristy's aspects and operations
  • The allocation and monitoring of teaching spaces 
  • Student society room bookings and the allocation of rooms for external events

Warp It is an online reuse tool that helps us to reduce waste and procurement costs as well as making the sharing of resources across the University more efficient.

Staff can register to use the tool to upload resources they no longer want, or to search for other available items they wish to claim using the link below:

*Please be mindful that during busy periods when porters are required for departmental moves, exams or graduations including the summer peak periods you will need to be patient when arranging collections or furniture removals*
