Lynchgate Car Park, a 600+ space, multi-storey addition to campus opened on Wednesday 16 November 2016. The car park was constructed in less than six months.

It's available for University staff parking permit holders, and access is via the roundabout on Lynchgate Road near the Tesco filling station.

The location and access was designed to be convenient for drivers arriving from the A45 direction, with the intention of reducing traffic on Kirby Corner Road and Gibbet Hill Road. The extra spaces also eased pressure on parking on central campus.

This busy pedestrian and cycle route between campus and the Cannon Park area has been improved with a wider shared path alongside the vehicle access, and better lighting. The roundabout on Lynchgate Road has provided improved crossing facilities for pedestrians.
