About Dundee College

• The College plans to reform its estate and
  reduce the number of campus buildings from 5 to 2
  has been given fresh impetus by SFCs formal
  approval of in principle funding to regenerate
  the Gardyne campus. This exciting project has a
  capital cost of 43m and will transform the
  learning environment for staff and students in
  the future.

  the project achieves a BREEAM Very Good rating
  for the project

What is BREEAM?

• BREEAM (BRE Environmental Assessment Method) is
  the leading and most widely used environmental
  assessment method for buildings. It sets the
  standard for best practice in sustainable design
  and has become the de facto measure used to
  describe a building's environmental performance

BREEAM contd

• There are BREEAM schemes for a multitude of
  buildings including homes, courts, prisons,
  healthcare, industrial, offices, retail and since
  2008 Education
• Presently BREEAM Education does not cover HE,
  but only Schools and Colleges
• Universities will require to be assessed under
  what is known as Bespoke

10
BREEAM contd

• Because the Gardyne Campus project was
  submitted to BRE before the Education Standard
  arrived last year it was assessed as Bespoke
• As youd expect from an Environmental
  Assessment Method for Buildings, BREEAM covers
  many aspects
• Some of the Credits available though are
  highly relevant to UCCCfS
