The University of Sussex is situated on a large greenfield site on the South Downs near Brighton and Hove. The campus, designed by Sir Basil Spence, is lauded in the architectural community with many award-winning campus buildings.

The buildings which made up the core of Spence’s designs were given listed status, with Falmer House being one of only two buildings to be given a Grade I status of “exceptional interest”.
