University Park is The University of Nottingham’s largest campus at 300 acres. Part of the University since 1929, the campus is widely regarded as one of the largest and most attractive in the country.

Set in extensive greenery and around a lake, University Park is the focus of life for students, staff and visitors. Conveniently located only two miles from the city centre, the campus contains:

• period buildings
• modern state-of-the-art teaching and research facilities
• 12 halls of residence (accommodating over 3,000 students)
• several award-winning buildings
• a conference and exhibition centre
• sports facilities
• the Lakeside Arts Centre

The hub of student life is the Portland Building, which houses the Students' Union, the Student Support Centre, as well as shops, banks, bars and restaurants.

The local community are welcome to enjoy the walks, parks and gardens in the University’s landscaped settings which feature:

• long-established woodland
• contemporary gardens
• the Millennium Garden - a quiet, reflective place in which to escape the hustle and bustle of campus life

The campus has been a Civic Trust Green Flag Award Winner every year since 2003 – the only university campus to achieve this status.
