About

The area around University North is a mix of campus buildings, lecture halls, laboratories and student housing clustered along the northern edge of the main university footprint. Paths and short streets link department entrances with cafes, small shops and campus services used by students and staff. The Manchester Museum and specialist research facilities sit within walking distance, and pedestrian routes rise and fall with the rail cutting that runs under parts of the campus, shaping how buildings and courtyards are arranged.

Whitworth Street runs beside Whitworth Park and meets the university precinct at several points, so galleries, lecture theatres and workspaces sit close to green space. The Whitworth Art Gallery, which reopened after a major expansion in 2015, backs on to the park and is used by students and residents alike. Converted Victorian buildings along Whitworth Street now house studios, offices and eateries, and the street serves as a direct link between academic buildings, public art and the parkland used for study and short breaks.
