FALMER CAMPUS

SELF-GUIDED TOUR

STOP 1: CHECKLAND BUILDING

This is the largest building on campus and contains our main lecture theatre. The building houses specialist facilities for education, teaching, podiatry and occupational therapy courses, but all students are likely to use the building for classes. The facilities include specialist classrooms and labs that replicate the school environment, an occupational therapy craft room and orthotics manufacturing. It also houses the Curriculum Centre on the fourth floor which has 25,000+ resources for student teachers including books, games and subject-specific equipment. There is a café, lots of spaces for group and individual study, and a Student Centre, where students can access a wide range of support, from financial advice to wellbeing services.
