i3 Building

Whether you’re a student looking for the perfect study environment, a private space for group work, a spot to catch up with friends before class, or somewhere to print something out, the i3 building has you covered.

Take a look around the state-of-the-art building using the virtual tours below.

Main entrance

Alongside The Sheppard-Worlock Library across the road, this building is a second major Learning Resource Centre, housing innovative technology and a vibrant informal study space for all students. Through the main entrance, you will find a water dispenser, our security team, classroom I3004 and a range of seating and tables for you to work. With winged sofas for privacy and comfy sofas for relaxing, you can catch up with friends. There is also a printer and lift on this floor. 

Students' Union office and waiting area

The i3 building is now home to the Students' Union (SU) on the ground floor. Stop by to discover all the ways the SU can enhance your university experience in this exciting new space.

Lecture theatres and social spaces

The i3 building houses three newly refurbished Lecture Theatres, and you will also find group modular seating, lockers, and toilets.

Workspaces

On the first floor, you will find classroom I3114, a range of wireless PCs, extra power sockets for laptops and mobile phones, and some breakout group workspaces. You will also find a space where our academics are looking into bringing you state-of-the-art Virtual Reality hardware and software.

Simulation Lab

Liverpool Hope University is dedicated to exploring new technologies to ensure our students stay ahead of the curve. The Simulation Lab brings presentations to life with interactive walls and it will allow students to explore museums, labs, engines or it can even be used as a space for well-being activities.

Sustainability

In line with our commitment to sustainability and with low carbon targets, the i3 building features eco-friendly design elements, sustainable materials, and energy-efficient technologies. This building utilises air-source heat pumps instead of gas boilers and has solar panels on the roof. Natural daylight has been maximised to reduce energy demand associated with artificial lighting. This not only enhances the learning environment but also promotes awareness of sustainable practices among the university community.

Study spaces

On the second floor, you will find a whole area of flexible study spaces dedicated for study needs. This space is ideal for group projects, or individual study time. We offer a range of comfortable seating that overlooks the beautiful landscape of Hope Park Campus, where you can take a seat in one of our winged chairs and make use of the new laptop stands with a stunning view.

Teaching spaces

Outside of teaching hours, there are classrooms available for you to use. These classrooms have all been equipped with advanced technology, from brand-new smart boards to TV presentation screens and 360 web cameras that can track the presenter's movements. The seminar rooms also have webcams built into the sound bars, which means you can have online group meetings.
