Learning resources
The heart of the campus is the four-storey main building and the John Galsworthy building. These house:
- the Learning Resources Centre (LRC) – with electronic resources, drop-in PC areas, video and DVD playback facilities, satellite TV and spaces for study;
- teaching rooms; and
- lecture theatres.
Investment in teaching
The John Galsworthy building is a £20million teaching and learning facility. The six-storey complex brings lecture theatres, flexible teaching space and information technology suites together around a landscaped courtyard.
We've spent several million pounds on new teaching and learning facilities over the last few years, including:
- science laboratories;
- specialist facilities for subjects such as anatomy, psychology, journalism and radiology;
- open access computing suites;
- library facilities; and
- improved access for students with disabilities.
