## Description

The Estates Department within STFC is responsible for delivering all capital projects across all STFC campuses\. There is a recently updated project delivery process which sets out a standard approach to the conception and delivery of capital projects - this extends to major refurbishments\. There is a set of design standards which are provided to the design team covering relevant building aspects including security, environmental sustainability, MEP, Soft-FM etc\. The architectural design will bring all of these together and provide a focus for design quality as required by STFC\. This suite of design standards will be issued to design teams as a contractual document and they will be expected to design in accordance with them, though a process for derogation does exist\.
