University of Leeds Campus Reimagined Masterplan Framework 20.03.25

AHMM is part of the winning design team appointed to shape a Masterplan Framework for the University of Leeds main campus that will articulate the University’s future vision and drive a long-term programme of transformation.

Led by Prior + Partners, the multi-disciplinary design team brings diverse expertise from across the university and design sector to deliver a Masterplan Framework that will become a crucial tool for future-proofing the University, ensuring the campus environment and experience supports the evolving needs of students, Faculty, Facilities Directorate staff, and visitors for decades to come.

The appointment forms part of the University’s wider Campus Reimagined project, which seeks to look at the campus through the lens of lived experience and not just a set of buildings. As part of this, the University is re-framing how the campus works as a community and introducing a new way of thinking and linking through a new decision-making process. This ties closely with the ongoing engagement programme that will be a core principle throughout the Masterplan Framework process, where the outputs will be closely guided by the evidence and dialogue with the University’s staff and students.

The commission will run for 18 months, with a programme of engagement and an iterative design process running throughout.

The design team led by Prior + Partners is made of nine consultancies, including: AHMM, DNCO, Alan Baxter Ltd, Expedition, Gardiner & Theobald, Evolve Digital Workplaces and Kate McLaren Design, along with Leeds-based practice Re-form Landscape Architecture and Civic Engineers.
