The University of Chichester has two campuses at Chichester (Bishop Otter) and at Bognor Regis. The Bognor Regis campus lies to the north east of the town centre and in close proximity to the Butlins holiday centre situated to the south east of the site. The campus is bounded to the north by Hook Lane and open recreational space, Upper Bognor Road to the south, Felpham Way to the east, and Mead Lane and Brooks Lane to the west. The character of the site generally is low density and low rise buildings set within a parkland landscape. The campus is located within the ‘Upper Bognor Road and Mead Lane Conservation Area’.

The refurbishment of the Dome and the construction of the new LRC provide a great opportunity to enhance sustainability and environmental aspects of the Bognor Regis campus. A BREEAM (BRE Environmental Assessment Method) Pre-assessment for each building has already been carried out; some of the key features are listed below:
The LRC Designed to achieve “excellent” BREEAM score Low energy – low carbon building Ecological green roof will enhance the biodiversity of the site Selection of robust, low maintenance materials Naturally ventilated building utilises passive design principles Good use of natural daylight to interior Low water consumption appliances Waste in construction minimised %XLOGLQJ UDLVHG E\ PP WR DYRLG ULVN RI ÀRRGLQJ

Campus Overview
The Do m e - H i s to ry o f t h e Bu ild ing The Dome building was built in 1792 by Sir Richard Hotham who was instrumental in the development of Bognor Regis as a seaside resort. It is Grade 1 listed and forms the centre piece to a crescent of listed Georgian buildings including Mordington House and St. Michael’s House. The buildings are set in a landscaped garden with many mature trees. Originally the ‘Dome’ as it is known was constructed as three separate houses which were later converted into one larger building. The building was last refurbished during the 1970’s. A total reconstruction of the building was carried out replacing the internal structure RI WKH EXLOGLQJ ZLWK QHZ ÀRRUV DQG ZDOOV ZLWKLQ WKH SHULPHWHU ZDOOV 2I WKH RULJLQDO EXLOGLQJ only the external walls and original ‘party’ walls between the three houses remain.

C o ns tr u ct i on a n d A c c e s s Construction Works It is proposed that construction works will normally operate from 0700 – 1800 Monday to Friday and 0700 – 1600 Saturday. Sunday working will not be permitted. All noisy operations that are likely to cause disturbance to neighbours will be restricted to these hours. 'XULQJ WKH ¿W RXW SHULRG RI WKH ZRUNV H[WHQGHG RSHUDWLQJ hours may be allowed provided that the works only relate to quiet operations that will not cause a disturbance. E,g GHFRUDWLQJ ÀRRU OD\LQJ HWF Overnight working will not be permitted. Site Access - The Dome Construction vehicles will enter the Bognor Regis Campus via the main entrance in Upper Bognor Road. The contractor will be required to provide a marshal to guide vehicles around the University campus. Contractors’ cars and vans will only be allowed to park within the contractor’s site compound at the front of the campus. Site access - Learning Resource Centre Construction vehicles will enter the campus via the second entrance on Upper Bognor Road. The contractor will be required to provide a marshal for large vehicles entering the campus. Vehicles will enter and leave the campus from the West (from the directions of the Butlin’s roundabout). Contractors’ cars and vans will only be able to park in the site compound adjacent to the construction works. Temporary loss of car parking spaces A total of 21 car parking spaces will be taken up by the contractors’ site access routes and site compounds. To compensate for this loss agreement has been reached with Arun District Council to increase the parking provision at the London Road car park for staff and student parking for the duration of the construction works.
