Our mission is to embrace equity, diversity, inclusion (EDI) and sustainability in a meaningful and systemic way.

We are committed to building an organisation that fosters a culture of diversity and inclusion in society and the environment.

We are creating an inclusive community that is based on dignity, respect, and accountability, where everyone finds space to be themselves and to realise their potential irrespective of differences in cultural background, race, and ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, identity, beliefs, or skills and abilities.

Mission statement

Our mission is to inspire others by sharing our passion and enthusiasm for the changing world of the Built Environment.

We will work hard to widen participation, recognising the value education can bring, and strive to address inequalities where we find them. We are committed to:

  • creating a safe space of respect and dignity for our staff, students and members of the community
  • educating our communities of staff, students and researchers to be advocates of social justice (related to delivering a socially engaged curriculum in a general manner across the School). We are committed to an ongoing critical reflection on what this actually achieves in practice
  • working with our student community to decolonise our curriculum content, and grow other areas of inclusivity to address and welcome diversity
  • ensure fair and inclusive access to resources, facilities, programmes and services, strengthened by inclusive policies and practices
  • hiring practices to acquire staff from diverse cultures and address any racial disparities in staffing at all levels in the School
  • address intergroup disparities in representation, attainment and continuation, with a focus on intersectionality.

Our mission is constantly evolving. The changing nature of this text demonstrates the School’s commitment to being a fully inclusive and socially driven School.

We remain committed to reflect upon and update our practices in all areas of EDI activities/actions that will need to take place over a defined time scale; from now to the long term.
