Spotlight on... Ian Dancy

Ian Dancy - This week we meet Ian Dancy, UCL's Executive Director of Operations. With the recording of the Estates Strategy Town Hall now published, here, Ian provides some background about leading the development of the new Estates Strategy and next steps. What is your role and what does it involve?. I'm UCL's Executive Director of Operations, which means I have oversight for the physical UCL, including the Estate (both Operations and Development of), Campus Services, Sustainability and Health and Safety. My role focuses on, and allows me to be passionate about, the overall Campus Experience, the quality and resilience of our infrastructure and collective approach to Health and Safety. I'm currently leading the development of our new Estates Strategy which, aligned to the overall UCL Strategy 2022-27, will allow us to get 'our house in order' by investing in the quality of our infrastructure and maintenance, and considering the way we use space across UCL. How long have you been at UCL and what was your previous role?.
