## Notice

The University of Salford has an ambitious campus public realm plan, and the next phase of this will see the appointment of a Landscape Architect Designer to lead the development, refinement and delivery of a comprehensive public realm plan via production of a RIBA Stages 1 and 2 design and specification together with a Baseline Ecological Survey. This process will involve close collaboration with internal and external stakeholders, advancing sustainability and biodiversity design principles while prioritizing equity, diversity, and inclusion enhancements. We also envisage the appointed Landscape Architect to draw on ecological and other data to co-produce the public realm vision. By building on these foundations, the University of Salford aims to establish a world-class campus that reflects its values, enhances the student, staff and visitor experience, and contributes positively to the wider community.
