The HEDQF aims to improve the performance of buildings and estates in universities and higher education colleges. It was formed in 1995 to provide a long term forum for discussions between procurers in the higher education sector and the architectural profession. In addition to its annual conference, the HEDQF will host a series of events over the next year. This includes the Resolution Higher Education Exhibition and evening workshops.


The HEDQF believes that a high quality building should:

  • Meet users needs and exceed their expectations
  • Provide a positive environment for the activities that are accommodated
  • Make a positive contribution to its immediate surroundings
  • Help to promote a sense of community and social interaction
  • Be economic in maintenance and running terms
  • Be constructed with future needs or possible uses in mind
  • Be environmentally appropriate and incorporate current best practice
  • Provide value for money
  • Be constructed on time and on budget
