He has been a Fellow of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors since May 1997. He had a successful 20 year career with J. Sainsbury plc, initially opening new stores for the Homebase subsidiary and, latterly, as the Departmental Director responsible for developing new supermarkets together with the management and upkeep of the existing portfolio of supermarkets, offices and distribution centres. Prior to joining the University in December 2013, Chris Fenner was Property Director for a Saudi Arabian owned property development business in Oxford before setting up his own business during which time he assisted the University over the past 5 years in the development and execution of the Estates Strategy. In the short term, the stated aim of the Property Services Department will be to raise service levels across all the sites occupied by the University and provide best value in the delivery of new capital projects with particular focus on the successful delivery of the Future Campus project at St Mary’s Road by September 2015. Professor David Latchman, Master; Birkbeck University of London David Latchman has been Master of the College since 1 January 2003 having previously been Dean of the Institute of Child Health, UCL. He holds the title of Professor of Genetics both at Birkbeck and, by virtue of a continuing part-time appointment, at UCL. He was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in 2010 for his services to Higher Education. Paul Thomas, Chief Operating Officer; Brunel University Dr Paul Thompson, Rector; Royal College of Art Having completed a PhD at the University of East Anglia in 1987, Paul Thompson worked as a researcher for the Design Council, then at the Design Museum, where he was Curator of Contemporary Design, then Chief Curator, before becoming the Museum’s Director in 1992. During his tenure, such exhibitions as Charlotte Perriand: Modernist Pioneer and Modern Britain 1929–1939 boosted visitor numbers and won critical, scholarly acclaim. In 2001, Dr Thompson moved to become Director of the Smithsonian’s Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum in New York City. Here, his passion for education was manifest in the dramatic expansion of national education services offered by Cooper-Hewitt. Under his leadership, in-service teaching training and project-based programs were established in communities ranging from rural Texas and inner-city Philadelphia to post-Katrina New Orleans. In 2007, Paul Thompson initiated the ‘Design for the Other 90%’ programme at Cooper-Hewitt and appointed the world’s first museum curator of socially responsible design, Cynthia Smith. ‘Design for the Other 90%’ researches design for the developing world and those communities which live on less than $1 a day (i.e. 90 per cent of the world’s population). Design for need and sustainable design are two strong interests of Thompson’s. While Director of Cooper-Hewitt, Paul Thompson spearheaded a major effort to digitise the Museum’s collection of 250,000 objects, commencing with its American art holdings which include the world’s largest number of works by artist Frederic Church and several major oil paintings and drawings by Winslow Homer. Paul Thompson also led a $64 million revitalisation project with architect Richard Gluckman, aimed at doubling Cooper-Hewitt’s gallery space and dramatically improving visitor services, conservation and collection storage facilities. Entitled ‘Re:Design’, the campaign secured 85% of funding needs before he left to become Rector of the Royal College of Art in September 2009. At the Royal College of Art, Dr Thompson will direct Phases Two and Three of the Battersea campus development, dramatically increasing and improving facilities for the Schools of Fine and Applied Arts. Ralph Luck, Director of Real Estate; King’s College London Ralph Luck has over 40 years experience in real estate development and regeneration roles and has held a number of Director and Management Board posts. In 2004 he received the OBE for services to urban regeneration. He is a Fellow of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, was the Chairman of British Urban Regeneration Association Ltd from 2004-7 and an initial Trustee of the Chobham Academy at Stratford. Since 2006, Ralph Luck has held the position of Director of Property at the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA), responsible for all ODA Property transactions and associated regeneration and for overseeing the London Development Agency in the assembly of the Olympic Park. His key responsibilities have included the delivery of the Olympic Village, sale of the Village to its legacy owners, the ODA’s requirements in relation to the Stratford City Retail Development, the procurement of the International Broadcast Centre and Main Press Centre and the delivery of the sailing venue at the Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy and the new adjoining commercial marina. Before joining the ODA, Ralph Luck spent over 11 years at English Partnerships (the urban regeneration agency), latterly as Director for London and Thames Gateway, where he was responsible for delivery of the London Wide Initiative of more affordable and key worker homes. While Development Director for Greenwich Peninsula and Millennium Communities, Ralph Luck established, and secured planning permission for, a mixed use masterplan for the long term regeneration of the 300 acre Greenwich site involving consultation and participation with the local community. He delivered the remediation, servicing and infrastructure for the Millennium Dome within a fixed budget of £250m and established the vehicles and documentation for the delivery of the regeneration of the Peninsula, including the Greenwich Millennium Village and the former Millennium Dome into the O2 Arena by the Anshutz Entertainment Group. + Google Calendar+ iCal Export London Universities Development Plans 2017 | Details Tickets You must have JavaScript activated to purchase tickets.
