Map ref 59 (entrance through the parkinson building).
Studying at Leeds will give you access to one of the largest research libraries in the UK, with over 2.7 million printed items and millions more online resources for study and research.
We have four libraries on campus. The Brotherton Library houses our arts and languages collections. It's home to our Special Collections of rare and historic items.
The round reading room was modelled on the British Museum and features a magnificent domed roof. It's an impressive independent study space, but also offers group study areas and computer clusters. The West Building , beneath the round reading room, is a modern space with IT facilities.
The Great Hall is a beautiful building which is used mostly for formal occasions including graduation ceremonies, and events such as the Leeds International Piano Competition .
Next to the Great Hall is Baines Wing where you’ll find the School of Healthcare . Baines Wing and the Great Hall are part of the original Yorkshire College of Science and are the reason we’re referred to as a ‘red brick' university.
Behind you is the Michael Sadler Building which houses Languages, History and Philosophy in the Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Cultures .
Sir William Henry Bragg Building
Named after a former professor who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1915, this new engineering and physical sciences teaching and research facility opened in 2021.
It contains some of the most advanced electron microscope technology in the UK for fabricating and investigating new materials.
It has been designed so that vibration from passing traffic does not interfere with ultra-sensitive laboratory instruments.
Laidlaw Library
The Laidlaw Library was designed for undergraduate study.
There are bookable group work rooms and individual and accessible study spaces, all equipped with the power and high-end connectivity needed for laptops and digital learning. It also contains the recommended texts central to subjects studied at Leeds.

Love it or hate it, the building is a great example of Brutalist architecture and is grade II listed. The flying bronze figure is one of the most striking sculptures on campus; the 'Spirit of Enterprise/Hermes' by William Chattaway.
