University Park Campus

University Park is one of the largest and most attractive campuses in the UK. Set in 330 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens – despite being just 10 minutes from the city centre – it offers teaching facilities, dedicated Student Service Centres, libraries, accommodation, conference and exhibition centre, arts centre, museum, and excellent indoor and outdoor sports facilities, including an active trail across the campus.

It’s not surprising that University Park has been awarded the coveted Green Flag Award every year since 2003. The prestigious award recognises quality parks and open spaces.

Key attractions

Jubilee Campus is a place you have to see to believe – futuristic architecture, a library in a lake and innovative technologies developing around you.

Opened in 1999 by the HRH Queen, Jubilee Campus is built on the site of the former Raleigh bicycle factory and is an exemplar of brownfield regeneration – from wasteland to wildlife haven.

The campus has won numerous awards for its eco-friendly buildings and its outstanding sustainability credentials. It’s also held the prestigious Green Flag Award since 2013. It has a number of cutting-edge research facilities; the GlaxoSmithKline Carbon Neutral

Laboratory for Sustainable Chemistry is due for completion in 2016.

Just two miles from the city centre and a mile from University Park, the campus has libraries, a sports hall, shops and student accommodation, a Student Service Centre, and the International Office – a dedicated resource for all our international students.

Key attractionsLook out for our Aspire sculpture – the UK’s tallest free-standing public work of art when it was unveiled in 2008. At 196ft, Aspire is three times taller than the Angel of the North.

The University’s shuttle bus drops you off right outside The Exchange (building 2), which is the ideal point to start your walking tour.

Cafes and restaurants are listed on p15. Toilets are available in each building. As you enter The Exchange, you will find Cafe Terazzo and the Students’ Union Shop and Student Service Centre. On the opposite side of the atrium is Blackwells Bookshop, a bank and a cash machine.

As you exit The Exchange to the lake, you see the Djanogly Learning Resource Centre (building 3), in the centre of the lake. It houses the library for the Schools of Computer Science and Education. As you leave the Djanogly Learning Resource Centre, turn left and follow the path to the next building, which is one of the two Nottingham University Business School buildings (building 1). To take in the rest of the campus, you need to retrace your steps past the Business School and go straight ahead along the lakeside promenade, with the Djanogly Learning Resource Centre on your right and The Exchange on your left.

The next building accommodates the School of Computer Science (building 4). Continue past the School of Computer Science, to The Atrium (building 5), which has three food counters.

Walking along the lakeside promenade with The Atrium on your left and the lake on your right, you will come to the Dearing Building, home of the School of Education (building 6). This is where the postgraduate teacher-training courses and undergraduate programmes are taught and administered.

As you pass the School of Education, you come to the last of the school buildings, Business School South (building 7). As you walk around this building, along the tree-lined boulevard, you will see the iconic zinc-clad Sir Colin Campbell Building, which hosts Innovation Park.

Turn left to pass the Amenities Building (building 11), the YANG Fujia Building (building 10) and Newark and Southwell halls of residence.

Behind Newark Hall is the Sports Centre (building 30) with a sports hall, squash courts, fitness suite and practice room for martial arts/fitness classes.

To get back to the shuttle bus stop, make your way to the front of The Exchange and the bus will pick you up from where you started.
