Facilities

Coventry University’s Lanchester Library has provisions for individual, silent and group working. There are 1,200 study spaces, 500 computer workstations and Wi-Fi provided throughout the building. There are more than 350,000 print books, 70,000 e-books, 30,000 electronic and print journals and a range of other multimedia resources. The library is open for 24 hours a day during exam period.

Each faculty also has subject specific facilities. For example, the Health and Life Sciences faculty boasts a mock operating theatre, crime scene laboratory and a real ambulance.

There is also outdoor and sporting facilities which includes full-sized rugby, football and hockey pitches, as well as Astro Turf training facilities. The Sport and Recreation Centre is located centrally on campus and contains a fitness suite, two indoor sports halls and a therapy clinic.

Our student reviewers were impressed: facilities are up to date and mostly in abundance, but the library can get packed during busy periods.

Students say:

“The facilities are excellent. They have everything I require for my studies.”

“Very good, everything works as it should. Provides suitable resources and environment for learning and socialising.”

“Generally excellent, though library space is sometimes a challenge especially during intense periods- e.g. examination period.”
