The Royal College of Saint Almsworth, sometimes referred to as "All Saints" or simply "Saints", is a university situated near a lake at the base of Almsworth Hill, not far outside the city of Almsworth.

Locations

Notable locations on the Saints campus include:

The central quad

Originally a set of disparate teaching buildings and other facilities, the campus was unified in the 1960s by the construction of a central quad of green space, surrounded by administrative and office spaces for the university. The former main library, also built as part of this project, has since been repurposed as a student hangout and study area. The center of the quad is occupied by a clock tower built in the brutalist architectural style.

The central tower

As distinct from the clock tower, the central tower of the Royal College houses a laundromat, a small supermarket, one of two bookshops, and on top retains its only original feature, Café One.

Café One

A restaurant at the top of the central tower. Intended as a trendy social hub, it sells sausage sandwiches, baked potatoes, and other cheap, portable food.

The Anthill

Functionally (if not geographically) the center of the Saints' campus, the Anthill is a lecture theatre complex of interlocking brown domes and circular green skylights built in the late 1990s. Officially the Arthur Nathan Turner Halls, though no one refers to it as such.

The Student Union Bar

Formerly a village pub, now a bar at the edge of campus. A footpath near the Student Union Bar is the primary route to reach Dorley Hall.
