## Description

In December 2020 the University declared a Climate and Ecological Emergency and in May 2021 the University set a target to reach net zero scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions by 2035 from a 2019 baseline of 12,300 tonnes, with a maximum of 3,000 tonnes of offsetting\. The University has reduced its scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions from a peak of 18,851 in 2012 to a low of 8,997 tonnes in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic\. Emissions have risen back to 10,475 tonnes in 2021\. The Wivenhoe Campus was completed in the mid-1960s by Kenneth Capon of the Architects Co-Partnership \(ACP\)\. It is a purpose designed university campus designed around five interlinked squares set in a 200-acre parkland to the southeast of Colchester\. A key feature of the original architectural narrative of the Colchester campus is the metal framed single pane glass windows and the brutalist architecture\. It consists of a reinforced concrete frame which has both precast and in-situ elements\. The facades have exposed precast concrete columns and non-structural precast mullions\. A significant part of achieving net zero scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions involves building fabric improvements and a priority will be the original 1960's single pane glass windows across much of the Colchester campus\.
