==Campus== [[File:HSBC at Brunel University - geograph.org.uk - 1518865.jpg|thumb|right|Part of the main Brunel campus]] In the late 1990s Brunel devised a 10-year, Β£250 million masterplan for the campus. This involved selling off campus sites at [[Englefield Green#Runnymede Halls of Residence|Runnymede]], Osterley and Twickenham and using the revenue from the sales to renovate and update the buildings and facilities on the Uxbridge campus. Works carried out included a library extension, a state-of-the-art sports complex, renovated students' union facilities, a new Health Sciences teaching centre, and the construction of more halls of residence. The original Brunel campus was designed by [[Richard Sheppard (architect)|Richard Sheppard]], Robson and Partners, with many buildings retaining the 1960s '[[Brutalist architecture|Brutalist]]' architectural style. It has appeared in several films, most famously in [[Stanley Kubrick]]'s ''[[A Clockwork Orange (film)|A Clockwork Orange]]'', large parts of which were filmed on campus, particularly in the John Crank Building (demolished July 2019) and the Grade II listed Lecture Centre.<ref>{{cite web |title=The Lecture Centre |url=https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1400162 |website=Historic England |access-date=15 February 2021}}</ref> It has also featured in several UK television series including ''[[Spooks (TV series)|Spooks]]'', ''[[Silent Witness]]'', ''[[The Sweeney]]'' and ''[[Inspector Morse (TV series)|Inspector Morse]]''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://londonist.com/2012/05/londons-top-brutalist-buildings|title=London's Top Brutalist Buildings|date=24 May 2012}}</ref> [[File:19 luglio (113), 20.31.jpg|thumb|View on one of the main paths of the university.]]
