Additional information

Redmonds Building

Part of the University’s Mount Pleasant Campus, the Redmond’s Building is neighboured by LJMU’s RIBA award-winning Art and Design Academy and the recently developed Copperas Hill site. The building straddles both Clarence Street and Brownlow Hill and has transformed the area of Liverpool known as the Knowledge Quarter.

The building was designed by ADP Senior Architect Helen O’Curry who, as a graduate of the University, used her unique insights on the LJMU student experience to inform and complete her first large-scale project. Built in-line with LJMU’s low carbon agenda, the building has also been cleverly designed to make the most of views of Liverpool city centre.

The building contains a range of high-quality teaching spaces, over six floors. These include three large lecture theatres, IT Suites and a combination of medium sized teaching rooms and seminar spaces. The building also accommodates the specialised teaching facilities of the Liverpool Screen School and the School of Law.

Student Life Building

Copperas Hill is home to LJMU’s flagship Student Life Building and Sports Building.

The buildings were officially opened in October 2021 by our then Chancellor Sir Brian Leveson.

The Student Life Building is now home to many of LJMU’s student support services including Student Advice and Wellbeing, Student Futures, Academic Achievement and the Digital Library Services. It’s also the base for Liverpool John Moores Students’ Union.

The Sports Building next door boasts an eight-court sports hall, a further two multi-purpose sports hall spaces and a high performance gym with 120 training stations. These trailblazing facilities play host to a plethora of sport and physical activity programmes all year round.

The buildings were designed by architects Sheppard Robson and were awarded Best New Project “for bringing together a multiplicity of uses within an external structure that provides civic presence and puts down a marker for future development.”
