Campus tiers and sites

One family of campuses, three sizes. Every size is built from the same elements.

three sizes

Flagship, business park and satellite

tier 1
Flagship campus
A full campus in a township or large city site. It holds every space type in the programme, a studio floor, a library and a public face.
Largest learner count, all seven levels taught on site, a design studio and a model room for BIM and digital twins.
tier 2
Business-park campus
A mid-size campus inside a business or technology park, close to employers.
Core learning, project rooms and a coffee bar. Specialist labs are shared with the flagship through a booking system.
tier 3
Satellite campus
A small or mobile campus: one to six modular units, quick to place and to move.
One learning studio, two phone booths, a pantry and washrooms. Built from the same modular shell as the larger campuses.

site rules

Choose sites with low natural-hazard and low security risk. A site that scores poorly on either is ruled out before design starts.
Every flagship campus has a twin in a different hazard zone, so learners and records can move if one is closed.
Check the five services before anything else: power, water, drainage, data and road access. Missing services change cost and time more than any finish.
Prefer sites near public transport and safe walking routes. Provide covered pick-up space for learners.
Keep a clear fire-service route and an assembly area on every site.
Start only when the funding and the approvals are in place. Plan the move-out as carefully as the move-in.

note

Planning values for teaching and early design. A licensed local engineer and the local authority confirm every real project.
