Vision ▪ n. the ability to
think about or plan the future with imagination or wisdom
Project VISION is about delivering our future strategy and
the future of the University over the next years and decades, ensuring it is
supported by the necessary estates and infrastructure to meet the needs of our
diverse University community. It is looking at the future of teaching, the
future of research, the future of technology, and how we plan for all of those.
Our estates and infrastructure, including digital
infrastructure, need to be flexible and fit for the future in terms of the
changing size and shape of the University, and Project VISION aims to deliver
that.
The project is led by Michael Greenhalgh, Director of
Strategy & Planning and Secretary to Court, and features six workstreams:

Work began last year with agency NOMAD embarking on
large-scale consultancy exercise with staff from across the University. This
will soon come to an end and their findings will be presented to the VISION
board.
Meanwhile, architects have been conducting feasibility studies on our
current estate to establish what is possible.

Although Project VISION is a long-term project, where quick
wins have been established during the consultation phase, these have been
implemented quickly where possible. This has included the re-opening of the
first floor café at Sighthill, for example.
Project VISION is all about the future direction of your
university so we welcome input from everyone. Please get in touch through staffcommunications@napier.ac.uk
