Higher Education Design Quality Forum (HEDQF)

Wolfson Centre University of Birmingham

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 debates programme, the HEDQF works with AUDE (Association of University Directors of Estates) to develop films and workshops on design quality guidance for AUDE members.

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. 

If you are interested in further information on the HEDQF and would like to be notified of future events please email your details to client.forum@riba.org|
