The UWL Property Services team has been nominated for its UWL Decarbonisation project, which saw it successfully bid for, win, and implement a £5million government-funded project to install one of the largest combined heat pump and Solar-PVT installations in the world. All within a timeframe of six months. 

And the Library Services team’s shortlisting recognises its initiatives on inclusive collections. Over the past four years, the team been at the heart of a series of ambitious linked projects to accelerating diversity and inclusion in UWL’s collections, which have helped to narrow awarding gaps between different groups of students. 

I am delighted to see the creativity, hard work and dedication of UWL’s Libraries and Estates teams being recognised in this way,” says UWL Deputy Vice-Chancellor Professor Anthony Woodman. “It is great to be on the shortlist and I wish everyone the best of luck for the final judging.”  

The winners will be revealed at a ceremony at the Hilton London Metropole on 17 November.
