Summary
Four parts of the original university buildings are listed and these comprise the Suffolk Terrace, Norfolk Terrace, library and teaching wall. The buildings were constructed in 1964-68 with the library being elaborated on in 1972. The Suffolk and Norfolk Terraces, known as the Ziggurats, derive from Sant'Elia and Marcel Breuer under the influence of Louis Kahn. They were listed as Britain's first and most successful expression of a university as a small city rather than a dispersed campus.
