Kings Bournemouth’s Braidley Road campus is located in an attractive residential area, close to the city centre. Consisting of two large buildings, it is the main teaching and administration centre, and is surrounded by gardens with lawns and patios. Facilities at the campus are fantastic, with spacious, well-equipped classrooms, two computer learning centres, a leisure/activity hall and a cafeteria and restaurant. Outside, there is a dedicated on-site sports court.
