It is believed the University grew organically out of a footprint of the legendary poet Jeremy Clarkson sometime in the early 60's, in a piece of brownland just off Great Horton Road. From there the original Bradford University buildings sprouted, much like a fungus, releasing spores gradually over the next few years and multiplying. Some time in the early 90's, many of the first buildings grew sentience and were forcibly burned by the Student Union with the help of cleansing fire. Since then many new buildings have been commissioned and (arguably) completed to an adequate standard.
