[[File:Highfield Campus aerial view.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Aerial view of the Highfield Campus]]

The university's main campus is located in the residential area of [[Highfield, Hampshire|Highfield]]. Opened on 20 June 1914, the site was initially used as a military hospital during World War I. The campus grew gradually, mainly consisting of detailed red brick buildings (such as the Hartley library and West building of the Students' Union) designed by [[Sir Giles Gilbert Scott]].<ref>Gavin Stamp, 'Giles Gilbert Scott' in ''[[Oxford Dictionary of National Biography]]'', Oxford University Press, 2004.</ref> In 1956, Sir [[Basil Spence]] was commissioned to prepare a masterplan of the campus for the foreseeable future.<ref name=nash22>{{Harvnb|Nash|Sherwood|2002|pp=272–281|loc=Chapter: "Building a Vision"}}</ref> This included incorporating the University Road, that split the {{convert|59|acre|ha|adj=on}} campus in two and the quarry of Sir [[Sidney Kimber]]'s brickyard that itself was split by a stream. Unable to remove the road and the private houses along it, Spence designed many of the buildings facing away from it, using contemporary designs working in concrete, glass and mosaic.<ref name="nash22"/> During recent decades, new buildings were added that contravened the master plan of Spence, such as the Synthetic Chemistry Building and Mountbatten Building (the latter of which was destroyed by fire in 2005).

In 1991, the Highfield Planning Group was formed within the university under the chairmanship of [[Tim Holt (statistician)|Tim Holt]].<ref name=nash22/> This led to the development of new buildings such as the Jubilee Sports Hall, Student Services Building and the [[Institute of Sound and Vibration Research]]. In addition, existing buildings, such as the Hartley Library, were extensively renovated and extended. A new masterplan for the Highfield campus was drawn up in 1998 by [[Rick Mather]], who proposed that the University Road should become a tree-lined boulevard backed by white-rendered buildings.<ref name="Rick Mather Masterplan">{{cite web|title=University of Southampton Masterplan|url=http://www.rickmather.com/project/category/university_of_southampton_masterplan|publisher=Rick Mather Architects|access-date=17 February 2014}}</ref> He also contributed some of the newer buildings such as the Zepler and Gower Buildings.<ref name=nash22/>

===Avenue Campus===
{{Main|Avenue Campus}}
[[File:AvenueCampus.JPG|thumb|right|Avenue Campus]]

Avenue Campus is currently home to the Faculty of Humanities, with the exception of Music, and is located a short distance away from the main Highfield campus. The site previously housed the Southampton Tramsheds and [[Richard Taunton Sixth Form College|Richard Taunton's College]], of which the existing building still stands on the site. It was purchased by the university from [[Southampton City Council]] for £2&nbsp;million in December 1993<ref name="nash11"/> so that the university could expand – planning regulations meant that excess land on the Highfield campus couldn't be built on and had to be reserved for future car parking spaces. The car parking spaces have now been built.<ref>{{Harvnb|Nash|Sherwood|2002|p=276}}</ref> The departments moved onto the campus in 1996.<ref>{{Harvnb|Nash|Sherwood|2002|pp=132}}</ref> The campus consists of the original Tauntons building from the early 20th century but redeveloped with a glass-fronted courtyard and extension and a new Archaeology building built in 2006 costing £2.7&nbsp;million.<ref>{{cite web|title=Archaeology overview|url=http://www.southampton.ac.uk/postgraduate/pgstudy/researchareas/humanities/archaeology/archaeology_overview.html|publisher=University of Southampton|access-date=25 January 2013}}</ref>

===Boldrewood Campus===

Boldrewood Campus, located a short distance from the Highfield campus, houses the university's new Maritime Centre of Excellence, the Southampton Marine and Maritime Institute and [[Lloyd's Register]]'s Group Technology Centre.<ref>{{cite web|title=New Southampton research hub redefines business and university relationships|url=http://www.soton.ac.uk/estatedevelopment/newsandpublications/currentnewsandarchive/2010/20101217_mce_progresses.shtml|publisher=University of Southampton|access-date=16 April 2011|archive-date=5 November 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111105084334/http://www.soton.ac.uk/estatedevelopment/newsandpublications/currentnewsandarchive/2010/20101217_mce_progresses.shtml|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.soton.ac.uk/mediacentre/news/2006/apr/05_51.shtml |title=University unveils vision for the UK's first 'professional campus' |publisher=University of Southampton |date=10 April 2006 |access-date=17 August 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111105084953/http://www.soton.ac.uk/mediacentre/news/2006/apr/05_51.shtml |archive-date=5 November 2011 |df=dmy-all }}</ref><ref name="Southampton Lloyd's partnership">{{cite news|title=Boldrewood Campus|url=http://www.timeshighereducation.co.uk/news/campus-close-up-university-of-southampton/2012368.article/|work=Times|access-date=15 October 2014}}</ref>

The campus was formerly the Biomedical Sciences campus of the university and acted, until 2010, as a non-hospital base for the School of Medicine and home to a research facility for the Biological Sciences. These departments were then relocated to either Southampton General Hospital, the new Life Sciences building at Highfield, or the University of Southampton science park.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.southampton.ac.uk/estatedevelopment/newsandpublications/currentnewsandarchive/2010/20101008_boldrewood_closes.shtml |title=Temporary closure of Boldrewood campus |publisher=University of Southampton |date=8 October 2010 |access-date=12 January 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111003102901/http://www.southampton.ac.uk/estatedevelopment/newsandpublications/currentnewsandarchive/2010/20101008_boldrewood_closes.shtml |archive-date=3 October 2011 |df=dmy }}</ref>

[[File:Unilink Enviro 400 through Highfield campus.JPG|thumb|right|A Unilink double-decker bus passing through Highfield Campus]]

To connect the university's Southampton campuses, halls of residence, hospitals, and other important features of the city, the university operates the Unilink bus service for the benefit of the students, staff and the general public. The service is currently operated by local bus company [[Bluestar (bus company)|Bluestar]] using the Unilink name. The service consists of four routes. The U1 runs between [[Southampton Airport]] and the National Oceanography Centre via Wessex Lane Halls, Highfield campus, [[Portswood]], Southampton City Centre and [[Southampton Central railway station]]. The other regular routes, the U2 and the U6, run between the City Centre and [[Bassett Green]] and  Southampton General Hospital respectively. Introduced in 2023, the U7 and U8 lines connect the Highfield campus to Winchester and Chilworth respectively while the final route, the U9, runs an infrequent service between Southampton General hospital and [[Townhill Park]]. Students who live in halls of residence provided by the university receive an annual bus pass, allowing them to use all Unilink services for free.<ref>{{cite web |title=Hall Fees |url=https://www.southampton.ac.uk/uni-life/accommodation/fees.page |publisher=Southampton University |access-date=8 August 2018}}</ref>
