On University Park Campus, the Portland Building is home to the University of Nottingham Students’ Union. Following a £15m ongoing development project, it now offers bright, inspiring places to work, new shops and Portland Coffee Co.

The Djanogly Terrace was completed in February 2018 and provides students, staff and visitors with an extensive, modern, outdoor multi-functional space available for performances, exhibitions, displays and concerts.

The Teaching and Learning Building, positioned adjacent to Hallward Library provides unique and versatile teaching spaces, including teaching rooms, performing arts spaces and a social learning hub.

Opened in 2016 and generously supported by Nottingham Law alumnus and Carphone Warehouse founder David Ross, the David Ross Sports Village is a sector-leading inspirational

venue. Students get priority access to an incredible range of international-standard facilities and the latest in fitness technology.

This month, the University will be opening an outstanding new health centre set within a landscaped area. The centre, made possible thanks to a transformational gift from the Cripps Foundation, expands the range of facilities on campus supported by alumni and friends who share our vision of an outstanding student experience for all at Nottingham.

On Jubilee Campus, you will find the impressive GlaxoSmithKline Carbon Neutral Laboratory for Sustainable Chemistry and the new Institute of Advanced Manufacturing Building, which opened in late 2017. The Research Acceleration and Demonstration (RAD) Building is currently under development.
