Campus facilities
We have great facilities here at Loughborough University, here are the details of some that you may be interested in using.

Campus walks
Loughborough University is set in an attractive campus with plenty of outdoor seating areas and interesting sculptures providing a pleasant working environment.
To celebrate the University's centenary in 2009 six campus walking route maps were created. They include interesting facts about the campus and sites to look out for on the way. The walks range from 25 to 40 minutes in length - an ideal way to spend your lunch break or to wind down at the end of the working day.
Leaflets detailing the walks can be found on the Sports Development Centre website.
