queen's university

I have a photo presented to MD years ago for helping some students with manufacturing and production techniques so went just to see It's a lovely area with Historical buildings there are lots of things to see but really for those who have interest in the area

I have spent many days wandering around Queens and admiring the building and the grounds. It is well worth a visit and it can be a good place to sit and chill out.

The university was well appointed with signage to navigate your way as it is spread over a number of streets. we were lucky to get a parking space on the grounds behind the university & this made it easier to find our way about. Alot of history to be found very interesting a good day would love to go back up for a visit.

Queen's is close to the Ulster Museum and is well worth have a quick look round. Queen's is a red-bricked chocolate boxy building which takes good fotos if you bring your clapper board hat with you.

Building itself is breathtakingly beautiful, it's easy to see how it inspires so many to study there. The new library is outstanding especially the Narnia room complete with Aslan carpet and the door in to the room is the wardrobe door.

The Queen's University site has many wonderful examples of architecture, with so much history behind it including the extensive alumni who attended over the past 150+ years.

Lovely building and the freedom to do a small self-guided tour. Girl at welcome office very helpful. Well worth a walk around....

I think it is the most beautiful Tudor building. I come from a country where we do have old buildings, but nothing like this kind of construction. You feel like you're transported back to olden times. If I could start all over again I'd come here and do archaeology. I go here every time I'm in Belfast, and see Queen's and Botanic Park. I hope the students appreciate it. We went there for several seminars at night, and it was so good to be sitting there inside those rooms with great paintings on the walls. Six stars out of five! The rest room is there near the front door under the main tower.

The quad and Great Hall have a wonderful atmosphere. It is a busy place, with buidings being modernised and converted. The Students' Union across the road from the main buidings has a convenient shop and a couple of cafes, though it is not beautiful.

Everyone is distracted by Belfast’s answer to Hogwarts – the main building. I say “turn around,” for a far more fabulous place. Elmwood Hall, across the road, was built in 1862 as Elmwood Presbyterian Church to plans by John Corry. Writing in 1967, C.E.B. Brett says Corry was an amateur architect! Well, lack of some professional qualification or maybe proper pay didn’t stop him designing one of my favourite buildings in Belfast. Brett’s book Buildings of Belfast 1700-1914 says the inside and outside are designed on wedding-cake principles, meaning in ascending tiers, while the “arcaded Italianate façade is pleasing”. Couldn't put it better myself!All those handsome window arches on the front and the tower are set ablaze with upward-pointing lights at night, something the designer could never have anticipated. The effect is really dramatic and eye-catching. This particular night the view was spoiled by a big tent outside, housing the World Press Photo exhibition. That, itself, was very well worth seeing. That followed on from a talk in Queen’s main building, November 17th. That was in the Canada room, a curious place with wooden shields on the walls with the coats of arms of its different states on the walls, and maple leaf shaped holes in the light fittings. Very nice place. There were some interesting and brilliantly BIG paintings on the stairwell, and in the Canada room. See photos...

My daughter is a student in Queens this year so I decided I had to visit. A very impressive building on the outside, it is smaller than I though on the inside. A lovely little gift shop with a very pleasant assistant in it. I guess I was expecting to see lecture rooms, many of them and long corridors with painting of former students but really it wasn't at all like that. We did see one of the lecture rooms which was very nice but nothing out of the ordinary. The outside is probably the best part of Queens to look at.

It was a grand walk in the September sunshine from City Hall to this fine institution. The frontage designed by Lanyon looked wonderful, so appealing. Walking past the Queen’s statue took us to the impressive spacious entrance hall. The most notable feature is the Belfast version of The Thinker. There is also a nice stained glass window. The Great Hall is very attractive with fine timber ceiling and many chandeliers. Around the walls are portraits of Chancellors, including George Mitchell who tirelessly worked with the political parties, leading to the Good Friday Agreement.The quadrangle area is a grand space, with well-kept lawns and benches. A number of sculptures are interspersed around the sides.

Went there for a walk while staying in Belfast. Very nice campus and buildings. Area is very safe and I picked a Bed and Breakfast close to the campus.

The building is interesting, and is right next to the Botanic Garden, that is also worth a visit (although not as spectacular as we might find in other places).

The building was so great, it remind us of Harry Potters Hogwarts School :D I didnt had a chance to enter the building though
