In the heart of the city are the award-winning Broadcasting Place development, impressive Built Environment & Engineering laboratories in Northern Terrace, dedicated film and performing arts studios in Electric Press, Queen Square and Calverley Building and extensive IT facilities in Woodhouse Building.

The University’s Headingley Campus, a leafy parkland setting, houses our industry-standard music performance studios, visual media and IT labs. The Landscape Resource Centre is also located here, providing an outside space for Landscape Architecture practice.
