The Warwick Way

All the waypoints are related to works of art around the University of Warwick campus and should be accessible at all times. The walk to GZ from the starting point should take about 20-25 minutes with 10 minutes back to your car after a successful find!

The establishment of the University of Warwick was given approval by the government in 1961 and received its Royal Charter of Incorporation in 1965. It is situated on a large 700 acre campus which straddles the boundary between the City of Coventry and the County of Warwickshire.
The idea for a university in Coventry was mooted shortly after the conclusion of the Second World War but it was a bold and imaginative partnership of the City and the County which brought the University into being on a 400 acre site jointly granted by the two authorities.
Since then, the University has incorporated the former Coventry College of Education in 1978 and has extended its land holdings by the purchase of adjoining farm land.

In the 1960s, the creation of brand new campus universities allowed architects to imagine a perfect environment for the development and transfer of knowledge. The University of Warwick’s first architect, Eugene Rosenberg, felt that art, design and architecture could fuse together to create a place saturated with ideas.
Paintings, prints and sculptures were bought from young,contemporary artists and placed in public spaces where staff,students and visitors could encounter them. This approach has continued throughout the history of The University of Warwick and today, there are almost 800 works of art on show.
The large sculptures were grouped together in a Sculpture Trail in 1994 to provide a permanent, outdoor exhibition.
