Estate facts and figures The University’s estate extends to a total site area of 95 hectares, comprising a non-residential estate of 110 buildings covering around 200,000m 2 and a residential estate of 191 properties totalling around 100,000m 2 . The majority of the academic facilities are located to the south of Leicester city centre comprising a dedicated campus supplemented by a number of satellite properties to the north and south, all located within a 1 mile radius. The residences are in two locations: The City, on the edge of main campus, and The Village which is around 3 miles away. We also have strong links with several hospital sites in and around Leicester. Our Estate Our compact campus features architecture that ranges from the Victorian grandeur of the Fielding Johnson Building to the state-of-the-art David Wilson Library, all presided over by the three towers which form the University’s distinctive silhouette, including the 18-storey Attenborough Tower. Our world-famous Engineering Building was the first major building designed by British architects Sir James Stirling and James Gowan. Completed in 1963, the Grade II listed building comprises workshops and laboratories at ground level and a tower containing offices and lecture theatres. We are have recently undertaken works to replace the roof and glazed facades of the building to secure its use for the 21 st century.

We’re committed to sustainability in everything that we do and to delivering a continual reduction in our carbon footprint. All new developments are designed to be as environmentally friendly as possible, as evidenced in one of our recent development projects, the £42 million George Davies Centre. Completed in 2016, the building is the UK’s biggest Passivhaus building and represents the largest investment in medical education by any UK university in the last decade. In 2016, the redevelopment of Fielding Johnson Square was completed. Formerly a car park, the area between the Students’ Union Building and the David Wilson Library has now been sensitively landscaped to provide an outdoor events space for the enjoyment of our University community and Leicester residents alike. The 1,000m 2 space has been designed to host events such as Christmas markets, open days, graduation receptions and much more. Its design is purposefully clutter-free and provides unobstructed access routes between surrounding campus buildings. We are the first university in the country to launch a partnership with our Students’ Union for on-campus catering and retail facilities, demonstrating our recognition of the importance of campus services contributing to staff and student experience. Since 2010, the University estate has won over 100 construction awards which include the BREEAM worldwide sustainability standard Certificate of Excellence for the George Davies Centre.
