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 £20 million teaching and learning facility, which opened in November 2007. The six-storey complex brings lecture theatres, flexible teaching space and information technology suites together around a landscaped courtyard.

It is the latest addition in a massive investment programme at Penrhyn Road. We've already 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.
