===Campus West===
[[File:York University Campus - geograph.org.uk - 105297.jpg|thumb|right|The campus from the air looking south in September 2005]]
In 1964, work began on the campus facilities in the grounds of Heslington Hall. The marshy land was drained, the winding lake that dominates the campus was built, and the area was landscaped. The original buildings were designed by architects Sir [[Andrew Derbyshire]] and Sir [[Stirrat Johnson-Marshall]], with input also from the Vice-Chancellor [[Eric James, Baron James of Rusholme|Lord James]], Professor [[Patrick Nuttgens]]<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/1458523/Professor-Patrick-Nuttgens.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220112/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/1458523/Professor-Patrick-Nuttgens.html |archive-date=12 January 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live|title=Professor Patrick Nuttgens|work=Daily Telegraph|date=4 April 2004|access-date=17 September 2018|issn=0307-1235}}{{cbignore}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/news/2004/mar/17/guardianobituaries.highereducation|title=Obituary: Patrick Nuttgens|last=MacCarthy|first=Fiona|date=17 March 2004|newspaper=The Guardian|access-date=17 September 2018|archive-date=2 February 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190202134242/https://www.theguardian.com/news/2004/mar/17/guardianobituaries.highereducation|url-status=live}}</ref> and the Registrar, John West-Taylor.<ref name="derbyshirelecture">{{cite web|url=http://www.usablebuildings.co.uk/Pages/Unprotected/AndrewDerbyshireNov242005.cwk%20(WP).pdf|first=Sir Andrew|last=Derbyshire|title=The University of York Campus: 40 Years of Growth and Change; What Next?|publisher=The Architecture of Universities Lecture Series|access-date=4 March 2015|archive-date=22 December 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181222163608/http://www.usablebuildings.co.uk/Pages/Unprotected/AndrewDerbyshireNov242005.cwk%20(WP).pdf|url-status=dead}}</ref> The new structures were assembled using the [[Consortium of Local Authorities Special Programme|CLASP]] system of [[prefabrication|prefabricated]] construction, hence York's inclusion among the so-called [[plate glass universities]].<ref name="plateglassuniversities" /> The buildings are connected by numerous covered walkways and bridges. Most of the university's arts departments occupy premises in the college buildings, while many of the science departments have their own buildings.

====Central Hall====
{{Main|Central Hall, University of York}}
A landmark building is Central Hall, a half-octagonal concert hall used for convocations and examinations, as well as theatrical and musical performances. It is a Grade II-listed building, as is the West campus landscape.<ref>{{cite web |title=23 remarkable places listed in 2018 |url=https://historicengland.org.uk/whats-new/news/23-remarkable-places-listed-in-2018/ |website=Historic England |date=20 December 2018 |access-date=29 December 2018 |archive-date=30 December 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181230030457/https://historicengland.org.uk/whats-new/news/23-remarkable-places-listed-in-2018/ |url-status=live }}</ref> It has played host to [[the Wailers]], [[George Melly]], [[Soft Machine]], [[Pink Floyd]], and [[Paul McCartney]]. Performances by big-name acts have been rarer at the university following a 1985 [[the Boomtown Rats]] concert, during which the cover of the [[orchestra pit]] was damaged.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.york.ac.uk/admin/presspr/40thanniversary/1980sprofile.htm|title=The 1980s|publisher=University of York Communications Office|access-date=18 October 2006|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061016183623/http://www.york.ac.uk/admin/presspr/40thanniversary/1980sprofile.htm|archive-date=16 October 2006|url-status=dead}}</ref> A ban on pop performances, and in particular dancing, in Central Hall was imposed by the university, although it has occasionally been relaxed. Central Hall is still used for classical concerts and since a rock concert was held there on 13 March 2010 it has been available again for full booking. Public concerts are regularly held in the music department's Sir Jack Lyons Concert Hall, the Arthur Sykes Rymer Auditorium and in some of the colleges.

====University library====
{{Main|University of York Library}}
The University of York Library opened in 1965 two years after the university itself opened. The building was designed by Robert Mathews, Johnson-Marshall and partners.<ref>{{cite web |title=History of University of York's library revealed |url=https://www.yorkpress.co.uk/news/8759694.history-of-university-of-yorks-jb-morrell-library-revealed/ |access-date=9 May 2023 |website=York Press |date=29 December 2010 |archive-date=9 May 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230509133854/https://www.yorkpress.co.uk/news/8759694.history-of-university-of-yorks-jb-morrell-library-revealed/ |url-status=live }}</ref> The primary site of library comprises a series of three linked buildings to the north side of the University of York's West Campus: the JB Morrell, the Raymond Burton, and the Fairhurst buildings. Originally just consisting of the JB Morrell, in 2003 the Raymond Burton library was added to the site, designed by Leach Rhodes Walker architects and houses both the Humanities research reading room and the Borthwick institute for archives.<ref>{{cite web |title=Designing Libraries – Raymond Burton Library for Humanities Research |url=https://designinglibraries.org.uk/index.asp?PageID=1137 |access-date=9 May 2023 |website=designinglibraries.org.uk |archive-date=9 May 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230509133857/https://designinglibraries.org.uk/index.asp?PageID=1137 |url-status=live }}</ref> The Raymond Burton Library was also recently nominated for a [[SCONUL]] Design award. In 2012 the Library had a £20&nbsp;million renovation incorporating the neighbouring Fairhurst building, now housing the majority of libraries study spaces including the postgraduate study lounge.<ref>{{cite web |title=Library expansion and refurbishment – Investing in our campus, University of York |url=https://www.york.ac.uk/campus-investment/projects/library/ |access-date=9 May 2023 |website=www.york.ac.uk |archive-date=9 May 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230509133903/https://www.york.ac.uk/campus-investment/projects/library/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

A secondary site of the library is located in the [[King's Manor]] building.

====Grounds====
The campus lake is the largest plastic-bottomed lake in Europe.<ref name="plateglassuniversities">{{cite book|last=Beloff|first=Michael|title=The Plateglass Universities|year=1968|publisher=Secker & Warburg|chapter=6}}</ref> The decision by Sir Andrew Derbyshire and Stirrat Johnson-Marshall to give the university a lake had two motivations: one, to give the university a distinct image and identity while also creating areas to foster community; and two, more practically to create a [[drainage basin]] for the relatively flat agricultural site as it was feared the construction of the new buildings would increase the risk of flooding.<ref name="derbyshirelecture" /> The lake has attracted a large population of wild and semi-wild [[wildfowl|waterfowl]], including [[greylag goose|greylag]], [[Canada goose|Canada]], [[barnacle goose|barnacle]] and [[snow goose|snow geese]], [[Eurasian coot|coots]], [[Common moorhen|moorhens]] and large numbers of [[duck]]s, including [[mallard]]s, [[tufted duck]]s, and [[common pochard]]s. There is also a growing population of [[black swan]]s and a few [[great crested grebe]]. [[Grey heron]]s have also been sighted on the lake. The southern end of the lake has been established as a bird sanctuary. Fishing is permitted in season, on purchase of a licence. On occasions the lake has been called Scullion's Lake.<ref name="architectureyork">{{cite book|last=Brooke Fieldhouse|first=John|title=Architecture York|year=2022|publisher=Matador|isbn=9781800464322|page=186}}</ref> However, the use of this name varies, which challenges it's authenticity. It has been applied to the whole lake,<ref>{{cite web |title=Geograph:: Heslington West |url=https://www.geograph.org.uk/snippet/158 |access-date=9 October 2024 |website=www.geograph.org.uk}}</ref> to the Derwent fish pond,<ref>{{cite web |title=MSN |url=https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/long-bois-last-swim-university-of-york-ducks-viking-funeral/ar-AA1rh6CI |access-date=9 October 2024 |website=www.msn.com}}</ref> and to the end of the lake around Wentworth.<ref>{{cite web |last=Agha |first=Zara |date=9 May 2019 |title=15 of the best places on campus for your dissertation picture |url=https://thetab.com/uk/york/2019/05/09/15-of-the-best-places-on-campus-for-your-dissertation-picture-20700 |access-date=9 October 2024 |website=The Tab}}</ref> No historic use of the term has been found to add support to any of these terms use.

Other parts of the campus support a large rabbit population. On at least one occasion, students have been cautioned by the university for hunting rabbits.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.nouse.co.uk/wp-content/print_edition_archive/26_06_05/05.pdf |title= Halifax students cautioned after killing protected wildlife|newspaper=Nouse |date=21 June 2005 |access-date=9 January 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130518122645/http://www.nouse.co.uk/wp-content/print_edition_archive/26_06_05/05.pdf|archive-date=18 May 2013 }}</ref>

Campus West has both indoor and outdoor sports facilities, including an all-weather [[AstroTurf]] pitch and County standard cricket pitch. A large, tent-like structure allows for indoor sport, gymnastics and dance.

In 2013 it was reported that the university was planning a major redevelopment of Campus West, which would also result in the creation of a tenth college.<ref name="college ten">{{cite news|url=http://www.nouse.co.uk/2013/10/01/constantine-to-be-followed-by-college-ten/|title=Constantine to be followed by College Ten|access-date=20 January 2015|newspaper=[[Nouse]]|archive-date=22 January 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150122005620/http://www.nouse.co.uk/2013/10/01/constantine-to-be-followed-by-college-ten/|url-status=live}}</ref>

====Heslington Hall====
[[File:Heslington Hall - panoramio.jpg|thumb|[[Heslington Hall]] was built in 1568]]
{{Main|Heslington Hall}}
Heslington Hall is a Grade II* listed rebuilt [[manor house]] consisting of a central nine-bay two-storey block with attics and two two-storey wings at each end. It is built of brick in English bond with sandstone ashlar dressings. The original Manor house was constructed in 1568 for [[Thomas Eynns|Sir Thomas Eynns]], the Secretary and Keeper of the Seal to the [[Council of the North]]; and his wife Elizabeth.<ref name="blb">{{cite web|url=http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-326185-heslington-hall-heslington-|title=Heslington Hall, Heslington|publisher=British Listed Buildings|access-date=11 February 2013|archive-date=4 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304075257/http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-326185-heslington-hall-heslington-|url-status=live}}</ref>

At the outbreak of the [[Second World War]], the house was vacated by the family, allowing it to be taken over by the [[Royal Air Force]] as the headquarters of [[No. 4 Group RAF]], part of [[RAF Bomber Command]]. The hall was not re-occupied by the family after the war. In 1955 the hall was given Grade II* [[listed building]] status.<ref>{{NHLE |num=1148497 |desc=Heslington Hall |access-date=28 April 2010}}</ref> When the university was founded, [[Bernard Feilden|Sir Bernard Feilden]] supervised its conversion into the administrative headquarters of the university.<ref name="blb" /> The hall and University were at that time in the [[East Riding of Yorkshire]] although they are now part of the City of York.

====Science Park and on-campus organisations====
{{See also|York Science Park}}
Next door to the university on the York Science Park are organisations including the [[Higher Education Academy]], the [[Digital Preservation Coalition]], the [[National Non-Food Crops Centre]], the York Neuroimaging Centre, the York JEOL Nanocentre, the IT office of [[VetUK]], the UK head office of [[AlphaGraphics]], the accelerated [[mass spectrometry]] specialists Xceleron Ltd, and the Leeds, York & North Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce. The Science Park is also home to some parts of the School of Physics, Engineering and Technology. The Department of Electronic Engineering's Recording studios are located in the park and in summer 2011, the Department of Physics moved its [[Plasma (physics)|Plasma Physics]] and [[Nuclear Fusion|Fusion]] Group to the Genesis buildings in the Science Park at the newly created York Plasma Institute,<ref>{{cite web |title=York Plasma Institute – York Plasma Institute, University of York |url=https://www.york.ac.uk/physics/ypi/ |access-date=24 May 2022 |website=University of York |archive-date=23 May 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220523235718/https://www.york.ac.uk/physics/ypi/ |url-status=live }}</ref> and moved its [[Biophysics|Physics of Life]] group to the Science Park in winter 2019. [[York Conferences]] are located on the university campus.

===King's Manor===
{{Main|King's Manor}}
[[File:Kings Manor3.jpg|thumb|right|King's Manor]]
Located in York city centre, about {{convert|2|mi|km|0}} from the main Heslington West campus, the historic King's Manor began as the Abbot's House of [[St Mary's Abbey, York|St Mary's Abbey]] and went on to become the headquarters of the [[Council of the North]] following the [[dissolution of the monasteries]]. For many years after 1966, the King's Manor housed the [[Institute of Advanced Architectural Studies]] (IoAAS). The IoAAS was a postgraduate institute primarily specialising in providing mid-career education for architects and others. In particular, it became well known for its one-year Diploma Course in Conservation Studies.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://ip51.icomos.org/~fleblanc/projects/1971-1979_PC/p_pc_uk_york_course/p_pc_york_course_program.pdf|title=IoAAS examples of courses|access-date=11 September 2018|archive-date=11 September 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180911152148/http://ip51.icomos.org/~fleblanc/projects/1971-1979_PC/p_pc_uk_york_course/p_pc_york_course_program.pdf|url-status=live}}</ref> It is now home to the [[Department of Archaeology at the University of York|Archaeology]], Medieval Studies and Eighteenth Century Studies departments, and is regularly used by other related departments such as History. It has a public restaurant and is used for art displays.

Not far from the King's Manor is the [[Old Palace (York)|Minster Library]], in [[Dean's Park]]. Students and staff of the university are able to use the Minster Library, which shares staff and cataloguing with the main university library, and holds the huge collection of early books belonging to the Dean and Chapter of [[York Minster]].

The university announced in 2024 that it would stop using King's Manor for teaching and research due to the cost of maintaining the property and problems with accessibility, with the departments moving to the main Heslington campus.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.yorkpress.co.uk/news/24413677.university-york-announce-move-kings-manor/|title= University of York announce move from King's Manor|date=26 June 2024|work=York Press|first=Harry |last=Booth}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c9x8p5gr5ydo|title=Opposition to university leaving historic manor|date=10 July 2024|first=Nick |last=Morris|work=BBC News}}</ref>

Several departments have purpose-built facilities on Campus East, including Law and the York Management School. In October 2010, several departments moved into new facilities on Campus East including the Department of Theatre, Film and Television and the Department of Computer Science.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.york.ac.uk/tftv/news-events/news/2010/stop-press/ |title=The Department of Theatre Film and Television moves into its brand new home... |access-date=29 May 2011 |date=11 October 2010 |publisher=Department of Theatre, Film and television, University of York |archive-date=10 March 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120310180626/http://www.york.ac.uk/tftv/news-events/news/2010/stop-press/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

Campus East also includes the York Sports Village and a new purpose built £1.1&nbsp;million Olympic-sized outdoor [[velodrome]], the only one in Yorkshire or the North East of England.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.yorkpress.co.uk/news/11302794.New_outdoor_cycling_velodrome_opening_in_York/|title=New outdoor cycle velodrome opening in York|date=26 June 2014 |publisher=York Press|access-date=4 March 2015|archive-date=2 April 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402151311/http://www.yorkpress.co.uk/news/11302794.New_outdoor_cycling_velodrome_opening_in_York/|url-status=live}}</ref>

===Other properties===
The university owns several other properties including Catherine House, Constantine House, 54 Walmgate, and Fairfax House. The university publishes an annual code of practice for student accommodation<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.york.ac.uk/admin/accom/pdffiles/CoPBrochure09.pdf |title=Code of Best Practice for Student Accommodation |publisher=University of York |date=17 June 2012 |access-date=24 June 2012 |archive-date=17 November 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091117023703/http://www.york.ac.uk/admin/accom/pdffiles/CoPBrochure09.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref> to help students living off-campus.
