Campus life at VGU
Learn. Live.
Connect.
A modern university campus designed for academic life, collaboration, community and everyday student experience.
VGU Main Campus
A campus built around learning, research and community
VGU’s main campus extends across more than 50 hectares and brings teaching spaces, laboratories, the university library, student accommodation, sports facilities and green open spaces into one academic environment.
The campus master plan emerged from an international design competition and was developed by Machado Silvetti, with an emphasis on openness, collaboration and environmental quality.
The library at the heart of campus
More than a place to borrow books
The VGU Library is designed as a learning hub for individual study, teamwork, research and creative activities.
Across its principal floors, students have access to around 1,500 seats together with group-work rooms, reading areas, Learning Commons, Language Commons, a multimedia room, MakerSpace facilities, research space and informal café-style study corners.

Live on campus
Student accommodation within the university community
VGU’s dormitory complex consists of two seven-storey buildings with 826 rooms. Room types include single, double and triple accommodation, while shared facilities include study space, common kitchens, student lounges and laundry services.
Because the dormitories are inside the VGU campus, students can reach classrooms, the library, sports areas and other university facilities without a daily commute.
