The Universities Superannuation Scheme is a pension scheme in the UK. It bought Telford Shopping Centre in 1990. The centre is an indoor mall with over 180 shops and Sherwood Square in the centre is home to the 'Telford Time Machine', a large animated feature clock spanning most of the width of the square.

The pension scheme's other property assets included Forestside Shopping Centre in Belfast which was bought from Sainsbury's for £50 mln in 1998 and sold for £70 mln three years later.
