Professor Jacqui Glass has been appointed as Interim Dean of The Bartlett, UCL’s Faculty of the Built Environment.

She will take on leadership of The Bartlett in April 2024, as outgoing Dean Professor Christoph Lindner moves to a new role as President and Vice-Chancellor of the Royal College of Art.

Jacqui has played a leading role in the built environment field through an academic research and teaching career spanning 25 years.

She is currently Vice-Dean Research for The Bartlett faculty, and for several years has led The Bartlett’s unique, multidisciplinary research community in our position as the UK’s largest centre for collaborative, impactful, world-leading and internationally excellent research.

Professor Anthony Smith, UCL Vice Provost (Faculties) said:

“I know that Jacqui will be a supportive leader for The Bartlett’s staff and students as Interim Dean. I look forward to seeing all that she will do to continue leading The Bartlett’s unique and diverse community across the incredible range of disciplines, activities and impact that co-exist in the faculty.

Professor Jacqui Glass said:

“I am delighted and privileged to become Interim Dean of The Bartlett. I’m passionate about the people we have here in our brilliant, inspiring community. Our students and staff come together from all around the world, and across a huge range of diverse disciplines, to take on our shared mission to build a better future for all. I’m excited to take on leadership of this crucial work, and see our community continue to achieve great things.

Following an internal selection process led by Professor Anthony Smith, UCL Vice Provost (Faculties) and The Bartlett faculty leadership team, Jacqui has been appointed as Interim Dean of The Bartlett from 1 April 2024.

The Interim Dean role will be in post for the coming months until a permanent Dean is appointed.
