Welcome to University Park Campus!
My name’s Emily, I’m a student here and I’m going to be showing you around.
First up we have the Portland Building which is home to the SU or the Students’ Union
here on campus. It's where we have our SU bar called Mooch
as well as loads of shops and eateries.
Its central location on East Drive makes it a real hub for student life.
Just along from the Portland Building is the Trent Building which is home to the School of English.
As well as its amazing courtyard the Trent Building has a lovely view overlooking Highfield lake.
The transport links on University Park Campus are really great with regular
buses into the city centre and to our other campuses as well.
Now moving on to Library Road which is where we have Hallward Library, one of two libraries
on this campus. This is home of the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. We also have
the Teaching and Learning Building which is a great learning space.
Walking along from the library you're going to reach a green space called The Downs which is really
close to lots of catered accommodation. Lots of events are held on this space throughout
the year and when the weather's nice it's just a lovely place to sit out with your friends.
At the bottom of The Downs is where a lot of the University's catered accommodation
is located and just along from this is the David Ross Sports Village. The University
of Nottingham was crowned Sports University of the Year in 2019 and hosts some amazing
facilities including a swimming pool, gym and loads of fitness classes. There is also
an active trail route around campus if you prefer exercising outdoors.
Walking round from the gym you'll find subject specific buildings including History and Humanities.
Uni Park Campus is full of green spaces, one of which is Highfields Park.
It's such a lovely place to walk around and we are so lucky to have it on campus.
There is the Trent Building in all its glory and there is me being really happy.
You're able to rent out boats to go on the lake which is amazing fun
and we also have a crazy golf park which is pretty cool.
Lakeside Arts is also an amazing facility which hosts loads of cool events and shows
and also has a lovely cafe overlooking the lake.
As well as the bus links to town we also have a tram stop on campus.
Here we have some more subject specific buildings as well as our second library called George Green Library.
It really started raining on me at this point but it doesn't make campus
look any less beautiful.
We have so many gardens and amazing nature spots on campus that sometimes
it's really easy to forget that you're on a university campus.
Here we have Cripps Health Centre which is home to the University's health service. We
have a GP practice, a Boots Pharmacy and a dentist.
As mentioned, here is one of the beautiful gardens we have on campus. This one is called
the Millennium Gardens and it is a really lovely place to sit with your friends
especially when the weather's nice.
That's everything from me. University Park Campus is huge and is definitely worth an explore.
I hope this has given you a bit of a taster of what it'd be like to study at the University of Nottingham.
