Library Living Wall and books

Living Wall

If you’re looking for a place to study, then of course your first choice would be the Lancaster University Library. But did you know, the library also has a living wall? A big, green wall growing with real plants that not only looks absolutely gorg, but also keeps the air in the library nice and fresh just for you.

You can find it here.

Ducks

Duck Pond

Do I really have to say anything else? Here at Lancaster, we are known for our ducks. So, if you’ve got some free time, why not go say hi to them on their own home turf?  

You can find it here.

Health Innovation Campus building

Health Innovation Campus (HIC)

Situated just outside of the main campus, right on a lovely path of greenery, HIC is designed for both students and external businesses alike. With a café and plenty of workspaces, this beautiful piece of campus is often relatively quiet and the perfect place to take a moment away from the bustle of main campus.

You can find it here.

There are plenty of places on campus for you to enjoy as many peaceful little moments as you need.

Whether you’re looking for a quiet place to study, an opportunity to work out, or to look at something beautiful, there’s something everywhere.
