What happens to old campuses?

When a university campus becomes disused, like IM Marsh, it's often sold for redevelopment. These sites are typically attractive to developers for housing, student accommodation, or mixed-use projects, given their existing infrastructure and often desirable locations. This process can take years, leaving sites empty.
