Listed in four sections; Suffolk Terrace and Norfolk Terrace each Grade II* (including connecting walkways). Teaching wall and Library are Grade II 1964-1968, and library phase II 1972. Architects Denys Lasdun and Partners. Teaching wall completed by Feilden and Mawson, who completed the library with David Luckhurst.
Concrete cross wall construction with panels precast on site. Suffolk and Norfolk Terraces, known as the Ziggurats, derive from Sant'Elia and Marcel Breuer under the influence of Louis Kahn.
Listed as Britain's first and most successful expression of a university as a small city rather than a dispersed campus, and for its international influence via Team Ten.
