The eleventh Sustainable Development Goal is to make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable.
2021 progress report
Our aim is to provide a sustainable environment in which to live and work, both at the University campuses and other areas affected or influenced by our activities.
See our policies and plans for a sustainable community.
Cranfield's major refurbishments and new buildings are constructed with Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM)'s standards in mind.
Our 'Masterplan' is available for staff to view on our intranet. It sets out the framework for any long-term investment in infrastructure.
Examples of new facilities opened in 2021 and built with BREEAM's standards in mind include DARTeC, a new facility to help drive forward innovations in digital airspace and airport infrastructure that will help the UK reach its target of net zero carbon emissions and support industry to bounce back from Covid-19; a new agri-informatics facility that will play a vital role in bringing forward digital innovations in agriculture; a leading national water science facility, the Water Science Building, funded by government through UKCRIC (the UK Collaboratorium for Research on Infrastructure and Cities) and Cranfield University; and a new forensic science ‘centre of excellence’ provides facilities in crime scene investigation, digital forensic investigation and forensic materials analysis, amongst others.
