Own a piece of Ulster University: Jordanstown assets to go under the hammer | Mid Ulster Auctions

23rd July 2024

Mid Ulster Auctions appointed to direct the sale of 1,000s of assets from Ulster University campus.

Generations have walked its corridors and now the public have the chance to take home their very own piece of Ulster University as one of Northern Ireland’s leading auction houses, Mid Ulster Auctions (MUA), partners with the university to conduct an asset clearance auction at its Jordanstown campus.

MUA, which celebrates a landmark 30 years in business this year, will manage an extensive catalogue of lots from across 26 blocks on the campus. It is estimated that some 10,000 lots will go under the hammer as part of the auction series which takes place between July and November.

Prior to the opening of Ulster University’s new Belfast campus in 2022, the Jordanstown campus was once home to the schools of computing, built environment, business, engineering, health sciences, communication, and more. Today, the campus is known as the Ulster University Sports Village, Jordanstown – the home of sport at Ulster University.

Lots featuring in the auction series include items from the broad range of subjects as well as assets from right across the university estate and its facilities, including hospitality and catering equipment, engineering tools and supplies, gym and fitness equipment, office furniture, AV and technical equipment, theatre seating, mezzanine flooring, and much more.

MUA director Kehly Lennon said: “This is a truly unique auction and we’re anticipating significant interest from a very broad range of interested parties, from private buyers and small business owners right up to large enterprises. It’s rare that such an expansive catalogue comes onto the market, especially when the assets hail from one of the leading academic institutions on these islands. The auction series will help unlock capital for the university to reinvest in its facilities and it will deliver positively for the environment too. Auctions are an example of the circular economy in action. Through them we can resell, repurpose, and reuse products to really extend their lifecycle and close the loop on waste.”

MUA is one of Northern Ireland’s leading auction houses. Independently owned and operated by the Lennon family, it has decades of auctioneering experience covering a wide range of industries and sectors, including construction, engineering, agriculture, leisure, hospitality, and more. The second-generation auctioneering firm operates extensively throughout the UK and Ireland and in Europe.

The first phase of the Ulster University Jordanstown auction series will take place from July 31st – August 6th with additional phases going live throughout the summer and autumn. The auction will be online only and interested bidders are invited to register to bid online at midulsterauctions.com. Viewings can be accommodated by appointment.
