It is within walking distance of both the city centre and Headingley, where many students live.
The Western Campus at the University of Leeds also includes the Leeds Innovation Centre; costing £9.3m. The building is an award-winning three-storey building of 4350 m2 (gross capacity), with the third floor accommodating the Innovation Hub.[4] In 2009, to coincide with their 125th anniversary, the site also saw the construction of the Marks & Spencer company archive.

Further buildings include the Liberty Building, home to the Faculty of Law, Charles Thackrah building and Western Lecture Theatre.[5]
