The Bognor Regis campus has some beautiful Georgian architecture, including the three grand mansion houses, St Michael’s, The Dome and Mordington House. Hothampton Crescent was built in 1793 and was specifically developed as a holiday retreat for the Royal family. The only member of the Royal family to visit Bognor Regis was Princess Charlotte (daughter of King George IV), who as a young girl enjoyed coming to Bognor Regis for her summer holidays.
The campus is set in a leafy environment and has excellent modern facilities with well-equipped teaching and study rooms. All the student halls of residence are located on campus. The Students’ Union runs the MII Bar at the Bognor Regis Campus – opened in September 2007, and already a very popular place with students on the Bognor campus. A number of different social events are hosted here throughout the week including karaoke, club nights, quiz nights and live music. The Bognor Regis campus is close to Hotham Park. The park surrounds Hotham House, built in 1792 by Sir Richard Hotham, and is regarded by many as one of the finest Georgian houses in Sussex. Also nearby is the Ice House – the original 18th Century refrigerator of Hotham Park Estate, and the best surviving example of its kind in West Sussex. The main attraction of this popular seaside resort, is its long stretch of coastline, with a mixture of sandy and pebble beaches. Here you can take long walks or enjoy sailing, windsurfing, jet skiing and many other water sport activities. The famous Butlins Bognor Regis resort lies at the eastern end of the promenade and is the largest holiday centre in the South of England. The town centre is just a short, easy walk from the campus. Here students can find a range of shopping facilities, numerous traditional pubs, bars and restaurants as well as nightclubs. |
