The university traditionally centers on the Lundagård park adjacent to the Lund Cathedral, with various departments spread in different locations in town, but mostly concentrated in a belt stretching north from the park, through the university hospital area to the somewhat farther north and continuing out to the northeastern periphery of the town, where one finds the large campus of the Faculty of Technology, known as the Lund Institute of Technology.
