Learning resources

The heart of the campus is the four-storey Main Building and the new John Galsworthy Building. These house:

  • the library – with electronic resources, drop-in PC areas, video and DVD playback facilities, satellite TV and spaces for study
  • teaching rooms
  • lecture theatres

Investment in teaching

The John Galsworthy Building is a new £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 nearly £15 million on new teaching and learning facilities over the last few years, including:

  • science laboratories
  • specialist facilities for subjects such as anatomy, psychology and radiology
  • open access computing suites
  • library facilities
  • improved access for students with disabilities
