=== Chelmsford ===
Anglia Ruskin University's Chelmsford campus is situated in the city's University and Innovation Quarter, along the river. The campus features modern buildings that house facilities including Essex's first School of Medicine, which opened in 2019.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Chelmsford campus - ARU |url=https://www.aru.ac.uk/student-life/life-on-campus/chelmsford-campus |access-date=2024-11-15 |website=www.aru.ac.uk}}</ref>

The Chelmsford campus houses several notable buildings, including the Queen's Building (opened in 1995) and the Sawyer's Building (opened in 2001). Queen [[Elizabeth II]] inaugurated the Queen's Building.<ref name=":8">{{Cite web |title=Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II – ARU |url=https://aru.ac.uk/her-majesty-queen-elizabeth |access-date=2023-02-10 |website=aru.ac.uk}}</ref>

In 2003, [[Prince Edward, Duke of Edinburgh|Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex]], opened the Michael A. Ashcroft Building, which was later renamed the Lord Ashcroft Building.<ref name=":9">{{cite web |title=2003 – 2009 Chelmsford campus – Anglia Ruskin University |url=http://www.anglia.ac.uk/ruskin/en/home/microsites/new_spaces/chelmsford_campus.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101204071605/http://www.anglia.ac.uk/ruskin/en/home/microsites/new_spaces/chelmsford_campus.html |archive-date=4 December 2010 |access-date=17 January 2022 |website=www.anglia.ac.uk}}</ref>

The Chelmsford Central campus closed at the end of the 2007/08 academic year, with all facilities moving to the new buildings at the Rivermead campus (now called Chelmsford Campus) on Bishop Hall Lane.

Three buildings were preserved: the East Building (built in 1931), the Frederick Chancellor Building (built in 1902), named after architect [[Frederic Chancellor]], and the Grade II-listed Anne Knight Building, named after social reformer [[Anne Knight]], (constructed in the mid-19th century), which was used by [[Quakers]]. The East and Frederick Chancellor buildings are located within a conservation area, meaning they cannot be demolished without planning permission due to their historical significance in the early days of higher education in Essex. The site is currently vacant because the recession halted development that had been planned for many years; however, new plans have been released by Genesis Housing, which currently owns the site.<ref>{{cite web |title=City Park West (Former Central Campus) |url=http://www.chelmsford.gov.uk/centralcampus |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150716230708/http://www.chelmsford.gov.uk/centralcampus |archive-date=16 July 2015 |access-date=16 July 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Anglia – Five Years On |url=http://www.iankitching.me.uk/five_years/ |access-date=16 July 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Archived copy |url=http://web.anglia.ac.uk/chaplaincy/chelmsford/book/pdf/living_and_learning_web.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110716083852/http://web.anglia.ac.uk/chaplaincy/chelmsford/book/pdf/living_and_learning_web.pdf |archive-date=16 July 2011 |access-date=4 April 2011}}</ref>
