Geocache Description:

A sneaky cache on the University of Leeds campus by the infamous Roger Stevens building. Home to numerous lectures theatres and a few lost first years. Feel free to take a seat around the pond and enjoy the rush of students late for their lectures! Bring a pen!


This cache can be accessed from Willow Terrace Road (as shown by the accessible waypoint) which shows the public access to the university campus. If you head along Willow Terrace Road past The Edge Sports Centre and turn right up the ramp/sloping steps you'll see the Roger Stevens building and pond.

In Leeds University's main campus, the Roger Stevens Building (Grade II* listed) was built in 1970 as part of the development of the university's South Campus by architects Chamberlin Powell and Bon. It contains 25 tiered lecture theatres. It was named after academic, diplomat and civil servant Sir Roger Bentham Stevens (1906-1980), Vice-Chancellor of the University of Leeds from 1963 to 1970.

Roger Stevens Building

The building faces a rectangular pool which is at an intermediate level between Chancellors Court and the lower buildings to the south. A sculpture by Quentin Bell on the central section overlooks the pool. The University Red Route walkway enters at high level towards the centre and the right hand block is raised over the open staircase that extends to the south.

It is not recommended to search for this cache in the five minutes before and after the hour due to the numerous students transfering between lectures! Weekends, evenings and holidays are best for stealth visits!
