History

[edit]

Twentieth century

[edit]
Library under construction in the 1960s.

The idea for a university in Warwickshire was first mooted shortly afterWorld War II,although it was not founded for a further two decades. A partnership of the city and county councils ultimately provided the impetus for the university to be established on a 400-acre (1.6 km2) site jointly granted by the two authorities.[9]There was some discussion between local sponsors from both the city and county over whether it should be named after Coventry or Warwickshire.[9]The name "University of Warwick" was adopted, even thoughWarwick,the county town, lies some 8 miles (13 km) to its southwest andCoventry's city centre is only 3.5 miles (5.6 km) northeast of the campus.[10][11][12][13]The establishment of the University of Warwick was given approval by the government in 1961 and it received itsRoyal Charterof Incorporation in 1965. Since then, the university has incorporated the formerCoventry College of Educationin 1979 and has extended its land holdings by the continuing purchase of adjoining farm land. The university also benefited from a substantial donation from the family of John Martin, a Coventry businessman who had made a fortune from investment inSmirnoffvodka, and which enabled the construction of theWarwick Arts Centre.

The university admitted its first, small intake of graduate students in 1964, and took its first 450 undergraduates in October 1965. Since its establishment Warwick has expanded its grounds to 721 acres (2.9 km2), with many modern buildings and academic facilities, lakes, and woodlands. In the 1960s and 1970s, Warwick had a reputation as a politically radical institution.[14]Under Vice-ChancellorLord Butterworth,Warwick was the first UK university to adopt a business approach to higher education, develop close links with the business community and exploit the commercial value of its research. These tendencies were discussed by British historian and then-Warwick lecturer,E. P. Thompson,in his 1970 edited bookWarwick University Ltd..[15]The Leicester Warwick Medical School, a new medical school based jointly at Warwick and Leicester University, opened in September 2000.[16]

On the recommendation of then-Prime MinisterTony Blair,Bill Clintonchose Warwick as the venue for his last major foreign policy address asUS Presidentin December 2000.Sandy Berger,Clinton'sNational Security Advisor,explaining the decision in a press briefing on 7 December 2000, said that: "Warwick is one of Britain's newest and finest research universities, singled out by Prime Minister Blair as a model both of academic excellence and independence from the government."[17]

Twenty-first century

[edit]

The university was seen as a favoured institution of theLabourgovernment during the New Labour years from 1997 to 2010.[18][19]It was academic partner for a number of flagship Government schemes including theNational Academy for Gifted and Talented Youthand theNHS Universitywhich is now defunct.Tony Blairdescribed Warwick as "a beacon among British universities for its dynamism, quality and entrepreneurial zeal".[18]In a 2012 study by Virgin Media Business, Warwick was described as the most "digitally-savvy" UK university.[20]

In February 2001,IBMdonated a newS/390computer and software worth £2 million to Warwick, to form part of a "Grid" enabling users to remotely share computing power.[22]In April 2004 Warwick merged with theWellesbourneandKirtonsites ofHorticulture Research International.[23]In July 2004 Warwick was the location for an important agreement between the Labour Party and the trade unions on Labour policy and trade union law, which has subsequently become known as the "Warwick Agreement".[24]

In June 2006, the newUniversity Hospital Coventryopened, including a 102,000 sq ft (9,500 m2) university clinical sciences building.[25]Warwick Medical School was granted independent degree-awarding status in 2007, and the School's partnership with the University of Leicester was dissolved in the same year.[26][27]In February 2010,Lord Bhattacharyya,director and founder of theWMGunit at Warwick, made a £1 million donation to the university to support science grants and awards.[28][29]

In February 2012, Warwick and Melbourne-basedMonash Universityannounced the formation of a strategic partnership, including the creation of ten joint senior academic posts, new dual master's and joint doctoral degrees, and co-ordination of research programmes.[30]In March 2012, Warwick andQueen Mary, University of Londonannounced the creation of a strategic partnership, including research collaboration, some joint teaching of English, history and computer science undergraduates, and the creation of eight joint post-doctoral research fellowships.[31][32]

Warwick Arts Centre

In April 2012, it was announced that Warwick would be the only European university participating in the Center for Urban Science and Progress, an applied science research institute to be based in New York consisting of an international consortium of universities and technology companies led byNew York Universityand NYU-Poly.[33]In August 2012, Warwick and five other Midlands-based universities—Aston University,theUniversity of Birmingham,theUniversity of Leicester,Loughborough Universityand theUniversity of Nottingham—formed the M5 Group, a regional bloc intended to maximise the member institutions' research income and enable closer collaboration.[34]

In September 2013, it was announced that a newNational Automotive Innovation Centrewould be built byWMGat Warwick's main campus at a cost of £100 million, with £50 million to be contributed byJaguar Land Roverand £30 million byTata Motors.[35][36]The centre will open in Summer 2018.[37]The building was opened byHRH The Prince of Waleson 18 February 2020.[38][39]

In July 2014, the government announced that Warwick would be the host for the £1 billionAdvanced Propulsion Centre(APC), anon-profit organizationthat facilitates funding to UK-based research and development projects developing low-carbon emission powertrain technologies.[40]The APC manages a £1 billion investment fund, which is jointly supplied by theautomotive industry– via theAutomotive Council– and theUK governmentthrough theDepartment for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy(BEIS) and managed byInnovate UK.

In September 2015, Warwick celebrated its 50th anniversary and was designated "University of the Year"byThe TimesandThe Sunday Times.[41]In December 2017, the university announced it would not continue with a project to open a Campus inRoseville, California.[42]The university had spent £1.2 million on the project.[43]

In 2023, the students' union voted for all the union-run catering to offer all plant-based meals. The vote was supported in order to reduce climate change emissions. By the following academic year, the menus will be 50% vegan and then will be fully plant-based by 2027. It is the eighth student union at a U.K. university to adopt plant-based catering.[44]

Campus

[edit]

Warwick is located on the outskirts ofCoventry,3.4 mi (5.5 km) southwest of the city centre and not in the town ofWarwickas its name suggests. The university's main site comprises three contiguous campuses, all within walking distance of each other. The university also owns a site inWellesbourne,acquired in 2004 when it merged withHorticulture Research International.

Main campus

[edit]

The main Warwick campus occupies 710 acres (2.88 km2) between the City ofCoventryand the County ofWarwickshire.The original buildings of the campus are in contemporary 1960s architecture. The campus contains all of the main student amenities, all but four of the student halls of residence, and the Students' Union. The campus is split between the parliamentary constituencies ofKenilworthandSouthamandCoventry South.

Warwick Arts Centre

[edit]
Main article:Warwick Arts Centre

TheWarwick Arts Centreis a multi-venue arts complex situated at the centre of Warwick's main campus.[45]It attracts around 300,000 visitors a year to over 3,000 individual events spanning contemporary and classical music, drama, dance, comedy, films and visual art. The centre comprises six principal spaces: the Butterworth Hall, a 1,500-seat concert hall; a 550-seat theatre; a 180-seat theatre studio; three cinema screens; the Mead Gallery, an art gallery; and the Music Centre, with practice rooms, and an ensemble rehearsal room where music societies and groups can rehearse. In addition the site includes a restaurant/ café.[46][47][48]

University House

[edit]

In 2003, Warwick acquired the former headquarters ofNational Grid,which it converted into an administration building renamed University House. There is a student-run facility called the ‘Learning Grid’ in the building, which includes two floors of PC clusters, scanners, photocopiers, a reference library, interactive whiteboards and plasma screens for use by individuals and for group work.[49]

Koan

[edit]

It is intended to represent the Buddhist quest for questions without answers, theKōan.TheKoanwas made in 1971 as part of the Peter Stuyvesant Foundation City Sculpture Project and was originally sited in Plymouth; it moved to theHayward Galleryin London before being purchased by Warwick in 1972.[50]

TheKoanwas temporarily relocated to the university's Gibbet Hill campus during refurbishments to the Warwick Arts Centre; it was returned upon completion of the project.[52]According to student newspaperThe Boar,the white Koan has played a role in many of campus' myths and legends – it was allegedly the nose-cap of theBlue-Streak Missile,a supposed quick escape route for senior staff, and even a signalling device for aliens in outer space.[53] TheKoaneven garnered its own cartoon strip in the 1990s, with thirty-two episodes created by Steve Shipway.[54]The Koan Worshipping Society, led by the Koanists, believe theKoanis “the earth-bound manifestation of the immortal Koan, the creator of the universe”.[53]

Sports facilities

[edit]

In April 2019, the university opened a new £49 million Sports and Wellness Hub, on the main campus,[55][56]featuring two sports halls with arena style balcony, the largest gym in the Higher education sector, a 12-lane 25 metre pool with movable floor, climbing and bouldering walls, squash courts, studio spaces and a café.[57][58]The previous main sports centre was closed on 7 April 2019,[56]

Elsewhere on campus is another sports hall, a £2.5 million 4-court indoor tennis centre with floodlit outdoor courts, a 400 m athletics track, multi-purpose outdoor surfaces, and over 60 acres (20 ha) of outdoor playing fields, including a football pitch and cricket grounds. Warwick was an official training venue for theLondon 2012 Olympics.During the Games, some football matches were played at the nearbyRicoh Arena,home at the time toCoventry City Football Club,and Warwick provided training and residential facilities for the Olympic teams.[59]

Esports facilities

[edit]

In September 2021, Warwick opened its esports centre in the new Junction building on central campus, marking it as the first esports facility opened in aRussell Groupuniversity and also the first university esports facility to be opened in the UK that is not tied to a degree.[60][61][62]The centre is equipped with 24 PCs,[63][64]and is designed to be easily configurable and moveable to facilitate the hosting of larger scale events.[65]The centre is open to all of the public, not just students of the university, and this is all only part of "Phase 1" of a larger push from the university to invest in esports.[66]The centre is sponsored by Uninn and Coventry City Football Club, partnered with Sky Blues in the Community, Women in Games and Special Effect and has its tech supplied by Chillblast and HyperX.[67]

Recent developments

[edit]

In November 2005, Warwick outlined proposals for how it would like to develop its campus over the next fifteen years.[69]The proposals built upon recent construction activity including a newMathematicsandStatisticsBuilding, newComputer ScienceBuilding, newBusiness Schoolbuildings, a Digital Laboratory, new Residences and an expandedSportsCentre. The proposals envisage a shift in the "centre of gravity" of the campus away from the Students' Union towards University House and a proposed "Academic Square".

Developed projects included an inter-disciplinary biosciences research facility; a £25 million upgrade toWarwick Business School;and theNational Automotive Innovation Campus(NAIC), a new £150 million venture funded byJaguar Land Roverand the UK government. The NAIC's purpose was to research and develop novel technologies to reduce dependency on fossil fuels and to reduce CO2emissions. The new 30,000 sq ft (2,800 m2) campus for postgraduates was opened in early-2020. The campus has been dubbed a "brain trust" and is intended to pioneer the green and high-tech sports and luxury cars of tomorrow, doubling the size of Jaguar's research team.[70]

In 2017, the university announced its intention to see an exponential growth of its main campus in order to remain "world-class" and cope with the growing number of applications it receives each year, especially from non-UK students.[71]This growth included a new £33 million Faculty of Arts, a £55 million new sports centre which was finished in April 2019, a new £54.3 million Interdisciplinary Biomedical Research Building (IBRB), a new type of student accommodation called "Cryfield Village", the expansion ofWarwick Manufacturing Group(WMG), a redevelopment for the Art centre and a new Library.[72]For this occasion,Vice-Chancellorof Warwick UniversityStuart Croftdeclared: "New buildings are and will continue to be a part of our everyday existence. We need to open one new academic building a year from now until at least 2023. In order to do this and to keep Warwick as one of the world’s leading universities, we need to do this together, involving the whole community."[73][72][71]

22% of Warwick's undergraduates areprivately educated,the fifteenth highest proportion amongst mainstream British universities.[110]In the 2016–17 academic year, the university had a domicile breakdown of 66:9:25 of UK:EU:non-EU students respectively with a female to male ratio of 50:50.[111]

Library

[edit]

The main university library is located in the middle of the main campus. It houses approximately 1,265,000 books[112]and over 13 kilometres of archives and manuscripts. The main library houses services to support Research and Teaching practice and collaboration between departments. TheWolfson Research Exchangeopened in October 2008 and provides collaboration spaces, seminar rooms, conference facilities and study areas for Postgraduate Research students. The Teaching Grid, which opened in 2008, is a flexible space which allows teaching staff to try out new technologies and techniques. Adjacent to the main library building is theModern Records Centre,a sizeable archive collection, including the UK's largest industrial relations collection.

Research

[edit]

In 2013, Warwick had a total research income of £90.1 million, of which £33.9 million was from Research Councils; £25.9 million was from central government, local authorities and public corporations; £12.7 million was from the European Union; £7.9 million was from UK industry and commerce; £5.2 million was from UK charitable bodies; £4.0 million was from overseas sources; and £0.5 million was from other sources.[1]In the 2014 UKResearch Excellence Framework(REF), Warwick was again ranked 7th overall amongst multi-faculty institutions and was the top-ranked university in the Midlands.[113]87% of the university's academic staff were rated as being in "world-leading" or "internationally excellent" departments with top research ratings of 4* or 3*.[113]

Warwick is particularly strong in the areas of decision sciences research includingeconomics,finance,management,mathematicsandstatistics.For instance, researchers of the Warwick Business School have won the highest prize of the prestigious European Case Clearing House.[114]Warwick has also established a number of stand-alone units to manage and extract commercial value from its research activities. The four most prominent examples of these units areUniversity of Warwick Science Park;Warwick HRI;Warwick Ventures; andWMG.

Commercial focus

[edit]

Warwick has at times received criticism for being too commercially focused, at the expense of academic creativity and diversity. The most famous proponent of this critique was the noted historianE. P. Thompson,who edited and wrote much ofWarwick University Ltdin 1971.[115]The book focuses on the brief student occupation of the Registry in 1967, and its causes, the files that were discovered and published, and the subsequent actions of the university, students and staff.

Nevertheless, with the appointment ofSir Nicholas Scheeleas Chancellor in 2002, the university signalled that it intended to continue and expand its commercial activities. In an interview for the BBC, Scheele said: "I think in the future, education and industry need to become even more closely linked than they have been historically. As government funding changes, the replacement could well come through private funding from companies, individuals and grant-giving agencies."[116]

Student life

[edit]

Undergraduate student life at Warwick can be broadly divided into two phases. In the first year, student life revolves around campus and, in particular, the Students' Union with its sports clubs, societies, and entertainment facilities. In subsequent years students typically live off-campus, inLeamington Spa,and more rarely in either the Coventry suburbs ofEarlsdonandCanleyor the town ofKenilworth.The university has a campus cat named Rolf.[117]

Students' Union

[edit]

The Warwick campus currently has around 6,300 student bedrooms across a range of undergraduate and postgraduate residences. All of the residences are self-catered, and each has residential tutors and a warden.[124]Warwick guarantees accommodation for all first-year undergraduate students, regardless of their present address. Many of the university's postgraduate population are also catered for, with some specific residences available for postgraduate living. Each residence accommodates a mixture of students both domestic and foreign, male and female, and, sometimes, undergraduate and postgraduate.

In their second and third years, many students live in one of the surrounding towns: either Coventry, Canley, Kenilworth or Royal Leamington Spa, where they can live in student accommodation or independently owned residences. Since 2011, Warwick has constructed two new halls of residences for the students. Bluebell, opened in 2011, offers accommodation in flats of eight people, with a total of 505 single rooms for first-year undergraduates. The Sherbourne residences was opened in 2012, which similarly provides 527 ensuite rooms to first-years,[125]and was extended with a further 267 rooms in 2017.[126]A further 700 new rooms were built in the Cryfield Village, namely Cryfield ‘Townhouse’ and ‘Standard’ residences.[127][128]
