The Sussex Estate
The University of Sussex is home to one of the most beautiful campus locations in Britain.
Situated in rolling parkland on the edge of the lively city of Brighton & Hove, the campus combines award-winning architecture with green open spaces. Designed by Sir Basil Spence, the buildings that make up the heart of the campus were given listed-building status in 1993. Falmer House is one of only two post-war educational buildings in the UK to be Grade 1 listed in recognition of its exceptional interest. Over the past two decades, Sussex has doubled in size in terms of activity, with the University accommodating this growth within its existing campus. The University has invested significantly across its estate, delivering new academic and student accommodation facilities, social and hospitality space and upgrading critical infrastructure for 5G connectivity. We are now entering a new phase of Masterplanning and crucial to this is to have in-depth knowledge of the current estate usage and condition. Our new Student Centre is fundamental to an ambitious transformation in how our students access friendly, consistent, expert, and personalised services across campus and digitally. We want to create a strong sense of belonging and community for all students, creating spaces to build relationships, be creative and share ideas. The campus is undergoing sustained investment and development to support Sussex’s academic mission with new teaching buildings, new student residences, refurbishment of several teaching buildings and the Library, and the reopening of the Attenborough Centre for the Creative Arts. At the heart of our programme of building and regeneration work is a sensitively thought-through plan to enhance the unique setting of our campus within the South Downs, whilst preserving the character of the distinct architecture.
