===Main sites===

The university began moving in 1968 to a new {{convert|30|ha|acre|0|abbr=on|adj=on}} site on Stag Hill in Guildford, adjacent to Guildford Cathedral. Students continued to alternate between the original [[Battersea]] campus and the new Guildford campus until 1970.<ref>{{cite web |title=1968 - Battersea, UK Surrey University - Great Hall |url=https://www.ledzeppelin.com/show/october-25-1968 |publisher=Led Zeppelin.com |access-date=7 May 2020 |date=2009 |quote=The new campus was being built in Guildford and in 1968 the University became a 'split personality' when half of the departments moved to Guildford for the start of that academic year! My department remained in Battersea, and this second half then moved to Guildford in 1969. |archive-date=7 August 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200807101440/https://www.ledzeppelin.com/show/october-25-1968 |url-status=live }}</ref> A further {{convert|90|ha|acre|0|abbr=on}} allocated to the university remained undeveloped until 2005. The BBC's local radio station for Surrey and North-East Hampshire, [[BBC Surrey]], has its studios on the campus.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/southerncounties/local_radio/ | title=BBC Sussex & BBC Surrey website | access-date=16 April 2007 | publisher=BBC | archive-date=4 July 2009 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090704010335/http://www.bbc.co.uk/southerncounties/local_radio/ | url-status=live }}</ref> In addition the university has a student-run medium wave radio station, ''[[Stag Radio]]''. In September 2009, the [[Guildford School of Acting]] moved into a new purpose-built facility on the main Stag Hill campus as part of a strategic merger between the two organisations. The old Sports Centre was converted into the Ivy Arts Centre, a performing arts facility housing a 200-seat theatre and studio and workshop space. In October 2015, the £45m School of Veterinary Medicine was opened by the Queen accompanied by the Duke of Edinburgh. The new Manor Park campus, designed as a car-free village, is {{convert|1.6|km|mi|0}} from the Stag Hill campus and on the other side of the [[A3 road|A3 trunk road]].<ref>{{cite web| url = http://portal.surrey.ac.uk/portal/page?_pageid=909,337717&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL| title = University of Surrey Accommodation Services: Band D Rooms| access-date = 7 August 2008| publisher = University of Surrey| archive-date = 1 October 2008| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20081001002250/http://portal.surrey.ac.uk/portal/page?_pageid=909,337717&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL| url-status = live}}</ref> It combines residences for students and staff, buildings for research and teaching, and sporting facilities.
