A lively buzz
Penrhyn Road has a lively and cosmopolitan atmosphere. Students from all campuses converge here as it:
- houses the Students' Union headquarters;
- provides central facilities, such as the gym, health centre and the main student restaurant;
- is close to the town centre; and
- is easily accessible from other campuses.
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.
You also have access to the Graduate Centre, a dedicated space for postgraduate students.
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.
