Castle Meadow Campus

Castle Meadow Campus is a distinctive and large series of buildings in the west of the centre of Nottingham, completed in 1994 and occupied by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) from its construction until 2021, when it was purchased by the University of Nottingham.

The campus comprises seven buildings with tree-lined boulevards. It is built on a former railway goods yard off the A453 off Castle Meadow Road, next to the Nottingham Canal.

Design
The buildings were designed by Hopkins Architects with engineering by Arup Group. The design employs natural ventilation. The main Amenity Building has a fabric roof suspended from four raking steel masts. The design employs the thermal mass of the concrete to cool the building at night. There are 1,052 pre-built deep brick piers with 863 concrete ceiling beams.

In May 2023 the buildings were listed at Grade II.
