Project Management

Project Budget

Fixed Project Budget: £46m (million)

Students will need to determine how to allocate this budget against the different activity project stages and primary activities e.g. requirements, design, build, testing and the procurement of equipment etc.

Project Timescale

Fixed Timescale: The project must be delivered within 3-years

Al related project stages and activities must be delivered within this timescale

Project objectives and primary design requirements

· The size of the library will be 7,400m2

· 7 storeys high

· A double height entrance space to address the streetscape

· Needs to house 154,000 physical books

· 200 Laptops for loan

· 530 new PCs

· 916 study spaces

· A Café

· A study hub (for student advice and guidance)

· Silent study spaces on each of the upper 4 floors

The building should have a strong civic presence and have gravitas.

The building must be connected to the adjacent Campus Centre and Business School at first floor level – continuing and extending a network of linking bridge spaces that run throughout the campus.

The overall design should be energy efficient and highly sustainable in nature.

The project must adhere to the stated budget and time constraints.

It can be assumed that the company have been contracted to assume overall responsibility for the project management of the project, including the design activity for which the related activities will be primarily delivered. For assignment purposes you can therefore assume that you are the lead project manager, with a reporting line into the University Estates Management team

Using about clearly stated 6 bullet points for each (except time scale and estimated cost, expand on those)

Please read the project design and assume you are the project manager of the said project, bullets must not be generic but very specific to the project. Please do not go too in depth in construction ensure all design task are adhered to:

· project objectives (Bullets – start with the word To… make SMART Eg. To Construct 7 storeys high library)

· Expected benefits

· Estimated cost ( list tasks related to project along with its costs)

· Estimated Timescale (Project must be completed in three years please break down each task eg construction would take 6 months)

· Major Assumptions ( what you assume for the project)

· Constraints

· Risks of high quality
