LIVERPOOL HOPE UNIVERSITY

We are proud of our rich heritage but we continue to look to the future as we invest in the University. In recent years we have celebrated the opening of the EDEN (Education and Enterprise) building at Hope Park and the Creative Campus goes from strength to strength. The beautiful Renaissance style garden is blossoming and has now won several design awards.

This year, building work is underway to see even more changes on campus. The new Health Sciences Building at Hope Park opened in January 2016 and includes state-of-the-art labs, a 25m running track and a double-height robotics and engineering room for drone testing. This building is in addition to the recently built Our Place student social zone, the refurbishment to our library and a new cafe and lounge at the Creative Campus.

All of these changes serve to enhance the idea of Collegium and community at Liverpool Hope – something that has been at the heart of the University since its beginnings back in 1844.

It was then, almost 170 years ago, that our first founding colleges The Church of England’s Warrington Training College (1844) and the Sisters of Notre Dame’s Our Lady’s Training College (1856) were established to provide teacher education for women. A century later, Christ’s College was built opposite S. Katharine’s where Hope Park is today, admitting its first students in 1964.
