Winchester University Tommy Geddes, deputy vice-chancellor

摘要

Tommy Geddes attributes much of Winchester University's recent success in drawing new students in a competitive, paying market to the design of its campus - a relationship it has been nurturing for nearly 20 years. 'Forming a relationship with architects is something we have developed since I arrived at Winchester 19 years ago. We knew that unless we developed the university estate, the college wouldn't survive,'recalls Geddes. Up to that point the university had been working with a local one-man-band, but the leadership team realised that to develop, they'd need more expertise.
