context_page_description: Sutton Bonington is a village and civil parish lying along the valley of the River Soar in the Borough of Rushcliffe, south west Nottinghamshire, England. The University of Nottingham has a 420 hectares site just to the north of the village: Sutton Bonington Campus.
  The parish covers some 2,183 acres and includes the hamlet of Zouch. The population at the 2011 census was 2,202, not including the students at the university campus who bring the total to over 2,200 in term time. The River Soar is the county boundary with Leicestershire and approximately 2 miles to the northwest, in Leicestershire, is the large village of Kegworth. The nearest town is Loughborough, some 5 miles by road to the south, and the nearest village is Normanton on Soar.
context_section_description: The university campus was originally the Midland Agricultural and Dairy College, which formed in the first decades of the 20th century. The site was used as a prisoner of war camp during the First World War. In 1948 the college became part of the University of Nottingham.
  The campus has steadily grown over the decades (the main part is now approximately 20 hectares) and in 2006 the School of Veterinary Medicine and Science opened. The residential aspect of the campus ("Bonington Halls" – it consists of a number of spread out halls and houses) has also grown substantially in recent years and is now managed by Campus Living Villages (CLV). A masterplan was created in 2008 for the campus and envisages its development over the coming years – growth at present is towards Landcroft Lane, whilst in the future a considerable expansion is planned northwards towards Melton Lane. In 2011 two new buildings will have been completed on the campus: the Gateway Building housing veterinary medicine and agricultural and environmental sciences (adjacent to the recently built veterinary sciences building) and the BioEnergy Centre which is a research centre for international brewing company SAB Miller.
