The application to the Trustees forms part of the TVU ‘Building for the Future’ Campaign which aims to: Concentrate all of TVU’s Ealing provision on one site; New library; Multi-functional atrium; A leadership and management suite in the School of Hospitality; Improved facilities for students including gym, café and communal areas.
The new world class ‘Leadership and Management’ facility is for Tomorrow’s Leaders in Hospitality. It has been developed because:- • Rising number of postgraduate students in Hospitality • Lack of suitable space on campus for postgraduate students • West London is a hub for Hospitality and Tourism companies • No suitable facility for hosting industry representatives • No facility that rivals provision at peer institutions such as Cornell and Lausanne so that TVU’s programmes and students can compete on the world stage
The School commenced executive level education for the industry in 1997, through the introduction of a Postgraduate Diploma in Hospitality, subsequently upgrading this to a Master of Arts in Hospitality. Since then the portfolio of executive awards has slowly expanded but TVU’s ability to deliver in this important area is severely constrained by their physical environment.
Growing
executive education to support tomorrow’s leaders in the hospitality industry is a strategic priority for the School. Key to this growth will be the development of a dedicated Leader Development Suite. TVU need to develop a world class facility to ensure that the graduates from this expanded range of programmes can compete on the world stage. The suite will be for the primary, though not exclusive, use of postgraduate and executive students. It will have a separate entrance or access to the suite for the use of industry/external partners and will comprise of:- • A lecture theatre • A flat lecture theatre/conference room, fully equipped with technological infrastructure such as video link to facilitate dialogue with hospitality and tourism leaders around the world. Presently TVU work with Johnson & Wales University and are able to log into their lectures
• A multi-functional area that can be converted into one large space suitable for group work or two seminar rooms
• An informal breakout area
To enable TVU to claim for matched funds, it was agreed that the Trustees would make the first stage payment by the 31st March 2010 and the second by July 2011. The second payment would be made following satisfactory completion of the designated targets for the first year’s grant and therefore entirely at the discretion of the Trustees who would be kept fully informed and be able to check progress at each stage of the project. In this respect a Gift Agreement was drafted and signed by representatives of TVU and the Trust.
