Introducing our Legacy Wall

Thanks to a legacy left to the university, the Walled Garden on University Park has undergone a radical transformation over recent months, giving it a well deserved spruce up.

It now also includes a new dedicated ‘Legacy Wall’. The wall features plaques that acknowledge supporters’ contributions towards Nottingham and their wider impact on the community, should they wish to be recognised, once they’ve passed away.

The garden, located between the New Theatre and Highfield House, is a special place to many, so the nature of the improvements has been subtle and in keeping with the garden’s character.

These include improving accessibility, new plants, relocating existing features and seating, creating new seating and refurbishing the wall at the northern end of the garden to create the Legacy Wall.

The garden will continue to provide a peaceful, secular space that can be used for contemplation and reflection by the wider university community to support the mindfulness and wellbeing of our students, staff and alumni, while also celebrating the life-changing impact of legacy giving.
