University Centre Peterborough

University Centre Peterborough is a higher education institution with campuses in Peterborough and Stamford, Lincolnshire in the United Kingdom. It is formally part of the Inspire Education Group. Degrees at the Peterborough Campus are accredited by The Open University. The Stamford Campus has a range of courses accredited by Bishop Grosseteste University. University Centre Peterborough was opened in 2009. History Since the 1990s, Loughborough University operated a satellite higher education campus in Peterborough. However, it was closed in 2003, leaving the city as one of the largest urban areas in the country without a dedicated provision of higher education. At around this time, Peterborough Regional College (a local further education college) was offering a limited range of higher education diplomas and degrees in conjunction with Anglia Ruskin University. In 2006, the two institutions began talks on developing a new university campus for the city and created a new joint venture company in 2007. The joint venture company, limited by guarantee, was managed by an equal number of directors from both partner institutions who were responsible for the academic and operational running of the new centre. The University Centre Peterborough formally opened in October 2009 with 850 students. However, the joint venture was dissolved in 2020, and University Centre Peterborough became a wholly owned subsidiary of Inspire Education Group. Anglia Ruskin University opened a separate campus in Peterborough. Today Facilities at University Centre Peterborough include a lecture theatre, three IT laboratories, open access IT suites and general-purpose teaching accommodation with audio-visual and IT facilities. The centre also has refreshment areas and a student support centre, which includes a Student Union space. The Peterborough Campus is housed in a dedicated building which is situated opposite the main campus of Peterborough College. Most of the higher education courses previously offered by the college are now located within the University Centre. Courses offered by the university centre Peterborough campus are validated by The Open University and include HNCs, HNDs and BA honours degrees. The centre also offers a number of post-graduate courses, as well as qualifications from the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development.

University College Boathouse

University College Boathouse is the boathouse of University College Boat Club (UCBC) on the southern bank of the River Thames (locally known as "The Isis") in Oxford, England. It is owned by University College, Oxford. UCBC's Boathouse has become a recognisable architectural statement in and around Oxford. The boathouse is shared with Wolfson, St Peter's and Somerville College boat clubs. The original 19th-century boathouse, designed by John Oldrid Scott, was destroyed through arson in 1999. After eight years, a new boathouse designed by Belsize Architects was completed in 2007 at a cost of £2.7 million. The Boathouse was awarded a Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) prize, and has enjoyed a very favourable reception in the architectural world. An article describes the structure as not just a boathouse, but "a grandstand of the first order" arguing that it represents a new age in rowing. The Saturday of Eights Week, the main summer rowing event of Oxford University, in 2007 saw the opening of the new boathouse by then-Chairman of the British Olympic Association Colin Moynihan, who had coxed for University College and Oxford University, and won a silver medal at the 1980 Moscow Olympics. At the same ceremony, the Coleman Viewing Terrace was named to remember the benefactors Jimmy and Jamie Coleman. References

Plymouth Marjon University

Plymouth Marjon University, commonly referred to as Marjon, is the trading name of the University of St Mark and St John, a university based primarily on a single campus on the northern edge of Plymouth, Devon, United Kingdom. Formerly named University College Plymouth St Mark & St John, the institution was awarded full university status in 2013. The Vice-Chancellor of the university since 2023 is Professor Claire Taylor. History The university's history dates back to the foundation of its predecessor colleges in London, St John's College and St Mark's College. The former chapel of St Mark's College, designed by Edward Blore is on the Fulham Road, Chelsea, and is now a private residence. St Mark's College in Chelsea was founded by the National Society (now National Society for Promoting Religious Education) in 1841. Its first principal, The Reverend Derwent Coleridge, son of the poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge, emphasised the study of Latin and worship in the college chapel. During the First World War, St Mark's College was requisitioned by the War Office to create the 2nd London General Hospital, a facility for the Royal Army Medical Corps to treat military casualties. Battersea Training College was established in Old Battersea House in 1840 by Sir James Kay-Shuttleworth, together with Edward Carleton Tufnell, as a private teacher training institution. Kay-Shuttleworth transferred the college to the National Society in 1843. The college was renamed as St John's College, Battersea in around 1879. These colleges merged in 1923, establishing a single institution in Chelsea as the College of St Mark & St John, with the title 'Marjon' first used, adopting the first part of both names. In 1973, the move to Plymouth came due to the college outgrowing the Chelsea campus. In 1991 the college became affiliated to the University of Exeter, which accredited it to run undergraduate and postgraduate programmes leading to degree awards of the University of Exeter, and in 2007, gained University College status, as the University College Plymouth St Mark & St John. It was awarded full university status as Plymouth Marjon University in 2013. Campus The university campus is located several miles north of Plymouth city centre, next to Derriford Hospital. Residential accommodation is provided, and all first-year students are guaranteed a place. In 2013 a major investment programme in campus facilities was completed, with new sport and exercise science laboratories, extensive indoor and outdoor sports provision, a theatre, a media centre and a music studio.

University House, University of Birmingham

Originally a hall of residence at the University of Birmingham, University House became the home for the university's business school in 2004 after having been extensively refurbished and extended to provide teaching and research facilities. It is located in grounds in the conservation area of Edgbaston, Birmingham, and is a grade II listed building. The name 'University House' was originally given to a rented building on Hagley Road in 1904. The present building was constructed in 1908 as a residence for female students at the university. Margery Fry was UH's first warden, from its beginnings at Hagley Road, and remained in post until 1914. Rose Sidgwick, lecturer in History at the university, managed the UH library and was commemorated after her death in the 1918 flu pandemic by an ornamental birdbath in the gardens. In 1964, the hall became one of the UK's first mixed-sex university residences. It remained so until its closure as a residence in July 2002. Archives of University House as a hall of residence and of the University House Association are held at the University of Birmingham Library.

University House, University of Sheffield

University House is a large 6-floor building in the centre of the University of Sheffield's campus which houses the University of Sheffield Students' Union. Current usage The building is currently used to house part of the students' union on floors 1 to 4 and some administrative departments of the university. Floor 1 contains the Union's student bar, Bar One. Floor 2 houses the nightclub/performance venue Foundry. Floor 3 houses the main entrance to the Union, the reception desk, and a range of shops, food outlets, student helpdesks and seating areas. Floor 4 houses several large study spaces, including a one-off-events kitchen in the former View Deli cafe, student officer offices, and meeting rooms. Floor 5 houses meeting rooms, as well as the restaurant/conference venue Inox. Floor 6 is home to several administrative offices for the university. History The original structure was built in 1963 and was located to the west, isolated from the older Graves Building to the east. The building housed the union bar (now known as Bar One) and two food areas, the lower refectory (now the Foundry) and upper refectory (now the City View cafe and Loxley's food court), amongst other offices and union departments. The 5th floor was another catering area used by staff, and also housed a room for staff, known as the Senior Common Room (SCR). During the mid-sixties the Union of students in conjunction with the university extended the building to connect it to the Graves building to the east and this section has become known as the "Link Building". It is still part of the University House building however. As a result, the floor numbering can become confusing, with slightly different physical levels between the three buildings all being assigned the same number and usually isolated from each other. For instance level 4 in the Link building houses a student work area and sabbatical offices, while the original University House building (named 'Tower') houses the food court/cafes, and the Graves building houses some administrative and marketing offices. A £20 million refurbishment of the building took place between July 2012 and September 2013. See also University of Sheffield Octagon Centre References External links University House website
University Parks

Lage Die University Parks liegen nordöstlich des Stadtzentrums von Oxford. Im Osten wird das Gebiet durch den River Cherwell, im Norden durch die Norham Gardens und die Lady Margaret Hall, im Westen durch die Parks Road und im Süden durch die South Parks Road begrenzt. Geschichte Teile des heutigen Parkgebietes wurden schon seit geraumer Zeit vor allem durch Studierende der Universität Oxford zur Erholung und sportlichen Betätigung genutzt. Das Gebiet gehörte ursprünglich dem Merton College, ehe die Universität 1853 etwa 8 Hektar erwarb, um dort einen Park zu errichten. In den darauffolgenden elf Jahren wurde der Park auf 37 Hektar vergrößert. Zwischen 1855 und 1860 wurden auf einem Teil dieser Fläche das Oxford University Museum of Natural History errichtet. Zwischen 1912 und 1950 wurden weitere Flächen zum Bau der Gebäude genutzt, die heute die Science Area der Universität bilden. Seither hat sich die Größe des Parks von knapp 30 Hektar nicht mehr verändert. Sehenswürdigkeiten 1881 wurde der Cricketpavillion von Thomas Graham Jackson errichtet 1888 wurden sieben Riesenmammutbäume sowie ein Japanischer Schnurbaum gepflanzt 1923 wurde die Rainbow Bridge über den River Cherwell erbaut Parson's Pleasure ist ein ehemaliger FKK-Bereich für Männer und heute Bestandteil des Parks Weblinks Offizielle Website der University Parks (engl.)
University Parks

Oxford University Parks eller University Parks i Oxford, England, är ett större parkområde som är beläget nordost om stadskärnan, tillhörande Oxfords universitet. Informella namn på området är Uni Parks eller bara The Parks. Området begränsas i öster av floden Cherwell, men inkluderar även ett litet landområde kallat Mesopotamia mellan flodens grenar. I norr begränsas parken av Norham Gardens och Lady Margaret Hall, i väster av Parks Road och i söder av universitetets naturvetenskapliga campus, Science Area. Parken är tillgänglig för allmänheten dagtid och inkluderar trädgårdar, stora sportplaner och exotiska växter. Här finns också Oxford University Cricket Clubs plan. Historia Marken i delar av området har använts för rekreation under lång tid, och här låg University Walks, enligt tradition där kung Karl II ska ha rastat sin hund 1685. Marken ägdes ursprungligen av Merton College men 1853–1854 köptes 8,1 hektar mark (20 acres) av universitetet för att anlägga parken. Under en elvaårsperiod inköptes totalt 37 hektar. En mindre del av marken reserverades för Naturhistoriska museet som uppfördes mellan 1855 och 1860, och ytterligare delar avsattes successivt för att uppföra naturvetenskapscampus under 1900-talets första halva. Idag omfattar parken därför omkring 30 hektar. Parken anlades 1864, under ledning av William Baxter som också blev parkens förste superintendent 1866. Delar av parkerna avsattes även som sport- och rekreationsyta, och 1881 uppfördes cricketpaviljongen. Parkerna används även för andra sporter som rugby, landhockey, lacrosse, tennis och krocket. Övriga delar av parkerna inrättades som arboretum, och de första träden planterades 1865. Ytterligare mindre tillbyggnader har tillkommit under årens lopp. Referenser Den här artikeln är helt eller delvis baserad på material från engelskspråkiga Wikipedia, University Parks, 20 maj 2026.
