University Design Forum is an independent organisation founded to promote high quality and sustainable design in university campuses, buildings and facilities, in the knowledge that this enhances teaching, learning, research and public engagement. 

We organise tours, workshops and debates across the UK, including an overseas study tour and an annual conference. Our aim is to promote design excellence in the sector and we do this by commissioning research, hosting exhibitions and making films. We are also building a body of case studies and building data sheets as a point of reference for those interested in designing or developing university projects.
