Introduction

• The main academic building for the School of Veterinary Medicine includes conference-standard 250 and 150 seat lecture theatres, but most of the formal teaching takes place in our 24 small group teaching rooms that have been designed to suit our teaching philosophy. The building also houses teaching and research laboratories, staff and student spaces, as well as the Café and collaboration spaces for more informal gatherings. On the ground floor at the rear of the building you will find the Clinical Skills Centre and mock veterinary practice.
