Campus Facilities

The campus comprises seven buildings in and around the pedestrianised St. Georges Street, in the centre of Norwich.

Each space has its own identity including the recently renovated Duke Street Building, which houses the library, the Monastery Media Lab, a world-class digital design centre, The Garth - a converted 13th century monastic remain and now the new centre for photography, the Guntons Design and Fashion studios and St. Georges with the traditional high ceilings and huge windows making it the ideal studio space for Fine Art. The result is an extraordinary, inspirational and unique creative environment.
