Shaping a sustainable, world-class campus for innovation, research and community.

The South Kensington Redevelopment programme is a bold transformation for Imperial, guided by the Great Environment pillar of the Enabling Roadmap. This programme is modernising key campus spaces to support excellence in education, research, enterprise, and public engagement, ensuring they meet the evolving needs of our students, staff, and the wider community. Cost-effectiveness and long-term value are fundamental to our approach, ensuring every investment delivers meaningful results while remaining financially responsible.​

Purposeful decisions, enduring benefits

Every project is shaped by a rigorous decision-making process that prioritises long-term returns. We’re focusing on what is feasible, making strategic choices that balance impactful outcomes with economic efficiency, ensuring that our campus remains a place where students, researchers and entrepreneurs can thrive. Some changes will be visible now, while others will lay the foundation for the future – each improvement designed to enhance the campus experience.

Sustainability at the core


With energy-efficient and climate-resilient design and operations, the decarbonisation of our energy supply, and sustainable construction practices, we are driving towards Net Zero Carbon by 2040.​

A campus for now and for the future

This redevelopment reimagines South Kensington as a vibrant, inclusive, and collaborative environment. Cutting-edge facilities will empower innovation in research and enterprise, while accessible and adaptable spaces will enrich student learning and public engagement. We’re creating a campus that works for you today and for future generations to come.​

Our South Kensington Campus will reflect who we are and who we aspire to be – leaders in sustainability, champions of collaboration, and pioneers shaping the next generation.
