The main bridge was a pre-cast road bridge crossing the river and the second a pedestrian S-shaped bridge which joined the campus to the local www.hepi.ac.uk 23 park on the other side of the river. [...] In addition, the wider Waterside campus has also won, or been shortlisted for, a string of awards, including the Royal Society of Chartered Surveyors Design through Innovation Award, Construction Project of the Year Award at the East Midlands Property Awards, University Impact Initiative of the Year Award from the Association of University Directors of Estates and commendation in the 2020 Civic Tr. [...] The Project Team, chaired by the Project Director and the Chief Operating Officer, oversaw the entire venture, from initial feasibility studies through to completion and took seven years from start to finish, a significant achievement given the scale and complexities of the project. [...] While the feasibility study was progressing (apart from the initial incredulity at the proposal to close the two old campuses of Park and St George's Avenue who many were very wedded to), it became frustrating for both the Governors and the management team that many of the reports that had been presented previously had to be repeated as the Governors had lost touch over the last three or four mont. [...] That said, most of the team were there for the greater part of the project and gelled in a way that was a material ingredient in the project’s success.
