The campus

Queen’s is located only 10 minutes from the city centre of Birmingham, within easy reach of University station and bus routes. The campus has five main buildings:

The Old Building: this houses the library and common room, IT suite and the George Bell Institute on the ground floor. The first and second floors are student study/bedrooms. All rooms have Janet broadband access, and on the top floor there is a kitchen and lounge for resident students.

The New Building: the ground floor houses our main teaching rooms. The Wakefield Room (in memory of Gordon Wakefield, a former Principal and distinguished ecumenist and liturgist) accommodates 60+. Three seminar rooms are also available. Staff offices take up more than one staircase; student accommodation makes up the rest of the building, with new flats available which have three single bedrooms to a shared kitchen, lounge and two bathrooms.

The Handsworth Building: built after the merger of the former Handsworth college and the Queen's College in 1970, has one, two, three and four bedroom flats for students and staff and their families.

The Administration block: on the ground floor are the kitchens and dining room (seating 100+); on the upper floor are offices for administrative staff and some academic staff, including the Principal.

The Chapel: built in the 1930's the chapel is simple and flexible, seating up to 130. A new communion table, font and lectern has recently been installed.

In addition, six core staff members and their families are housed on the campus. There is also a squash court, tennis court, and several acres of garden, including allotments for students!
