Nowadays, successful mixed use development and regeneration is judged by the quality of the landscape and how it threads together the human world with the natural world. Collaborating closely with university estates Colour are at the forefront of providing truly imaginative and ecological rich public realm across academic, recreational, sports and welfare spaces. Our creativity and technical experience help our Clients improve their estates, met environmental sustainability strategies and bring ecology into our lives.
Colour welcome the news that the representative body for university estates has launched a new comprehensive tool to help UK higher education institutions measure their environmental efforts, set targets and benchmark against each other.
The Association of University Directors of Estates (AUDE) green scorecard, said to be the first of its kind, has been developed in conjunction with the Environmental Association for Universities and Colleges (EAUC), and will focus on topics including energy, transport, water, waste, biodiversity and landscape. It will allow the production of online reports on these subjects to help universities improve their estates and environmental sustainability strategies.

Peter Owens, managing and design director of Colour commented that “the scene is very much set for the whole campus wellness approach, or dare I say ‘manifesto’ to create psychologically, physiologically and physically supportive environments that would not only boost any green scorecard but attract students and good staff.”
