Planning Development and Building on Brownfield Sites

Planning development – new build standards

Centurion University has taken a proactive approach to sustainable campus development by establishing new standards for building construction. The university’s planning prioritises eco-friendly, sustainable design and materials, aiming to minimise environmental impact and enhance energy efficiency. This commitment to sustainable development aligns with the University’s goal of creating an environmentally conscious educational environment that not only supports the well-being of its students and staff but also sets a benchmark for green building standards in higher education. Through these efforts, the University exemplifies forward-thinking in infrastructure development, contributing positively to the surrounding community and environment.

Building on brownfield sites

Centurion University has demonstrated its commitment to sustainable development by prioritising the use of brownfield sites for its projects. By focusing on these previously developed lands, the University minimises the environmental impact associated with building on greenfield areas, which are often untouched and ecologically sensitive. This approach allows the University to contribute to urban regeneration, making efficient use of existing infrastructure and reducing the need for new land clearance. This initiative aligns with the University’s broader mission of fostering responsible and eco-conscious growth, while also revitalising areas that may otherwise remain underutilised.
