The Cave Hill Campus overlooks the island’s capital, Bridgetown, five miles away. Despite its expansion in recent years, the campus maintains much of its original architecture of simple, low-rise buildings. The scenic attractiveness and relatively small size of the university community creates an inviting, intimate and friendly atmosphere. Since 2004, the Cave Hill campus is the site of the West Indies Federal Archives Centre.
