==History==
The idea of establishing a university at Lucknow was conceived by Raja Sir [[Mohammad Ali Mohammad Khan]], Khan Bahadur, K.C.I.E. of [[Mahmudabad, India|Mahmudabad]]. He contributed an article in then popular newspaper, ''[[The Pioneer (India)|The Pioneer]]'', urging the foundation of a university at Lucknow. Later Sir [[Harcourt Butler]] was appointed Lieutenant-Governor of the [[United Provinces of Agra and Oudh|United Provinces]], and was also made Mohammad Khan's well-known interest in all matters, specially in educational matters. The first step to bring the university into being was taken when a General Committee of educationists and persons interested in university education appointed for the purpose, met in conference at Government House, Lucknow, on 10 November 1919. At this meeting Sir Harcourt Butler, being the chairman of the committee, outlined the proposed scheme for the new university.

Eventually, The King George's Medical College (today's [[King George's Medical University]]), The Canning College, The [[Isabella Thoburn College]] provided structural as well as educational and administrational help for the establishment of the university.<ref>{{Cite web|url = http://www.lkouniv.ac.in/history.html|title = History |access-date = 2015-02-10|publisher = University of Lucknow |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150206062618/http://lkouniv.ac.in/history.html|archive-date = 6 February 2015|url-status = dead|df = dmy-all}}</ref>

==Campus==
[[File:Lucknowuniversity.jpg|thumb|Old Campus Of Lucknow University|alt=]]
In the early days, the Canning College had no building of its own, and the scene of its activity periodically changed as one or other building proved unsuitable or insufficient. During the first twelve years, the college was shifted from its original location, the Aminuddaulah Palace, to a number of places, one after another, including the Lal Baradari. At last, it was housed in its own building at [[Qaisar Bagh|Kaisar Bagh]]. The foundation stone of this new building was laid by the Viceroy, Sir [[John Lawrence, 1st Baron Lawrence|John Lawrence]], as far back as 13 November 1867, but the work of construction was not completed until 1878. On 15 November of that year, Sir [[Sir George Couper, 2nd Baronet|George Couper]], Lt. Commissioner of Avadh, formally opened the new building.

The University has three main libraries, apart from each department having its own. The Central Library of the university known as the Tagore Library, established in 1941, is one of the richest libraries in the country. It was designed by Sir [[Walter Burley Griffin]], the designer of Australian capital city of [[Canberra]].<ref>{{Cite news|url = http://indianexpress.com/article/cities/lucknow/architect-whose-story-pm-shared-with-obama-abbott-is-little-known-in-lucknow-where-he-is-buried/|title = Architect whose story PM shared with Obama, Abbott is little known in Lucknow — where he is buried|date = 2014-11-16|access-date = 2015-02-10|work = The Indian Express|last = Khan|first = Hamza}}</ref> It has 5.25 lakh books, 50,000 journals and approximately 10,000 copies of approved Ph.D. and D.Litt. dissertations. The whole library is online with its own website. The Cyber library is fully air conditioned and consists of more than 500 computers. The Cooperative Lending library was established in 1966 to lend books to economically under privileged graduate and post graduate students for the whole session to be restored only after their examinations are over. <ref>{{Cite web |title=University of Lucknow / Remote Access of E-Resources of Tagore Library |url=https://www.lkouniv.ac.in/article/en/remoteaccess |access-date=2023-03-09 |website=www.lkouniv.ac.in}}</ref>

The university also provides residential facilities to teachers, students and non-teaching staff. There are overall 18 hostels for boys and girls in the university.<ref name="HostelRules">{{cite report|url=http://www.lkouniv.ac.in/site/writereaddata/siteContent/201806141427157638Hostel%20rules%20revised%202018.pdf |url-status=live |title=Lucknow University Halls revised Rules and Regulations |publisher=Lucknow University |year=2018 |archive-date=19 June 2018 |access-date=10 November 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180619065452/http://www.lkouniv.ac.in/site/writereaddata/siteContent/201806141427157638Hostel%20rules%20revised%202018.pdf }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.lkouniv.ac.in/en/page/hostels-hostel-provost1 |title=Hostels & Hostel Provost |publisher=Lucknow University |year=2019 |access-date=9 November 2019}}</ref> Kailash Hall and Nivedita Hall can house nearly 600 female students.<ref name="HostelRules"/> Extra-curricular and employment needs of the students are taken care of by various centres and associations, such as Delegacies, Athletic Association, Centre for Cultural Activities, Information and Employment Bureau and Centre for Information, Publication and Public Relations. An important feature of the university is the organization of regular National Service Scheme programmes to create awareness for social service amongst the students. The university also imparts military training to the students through its NCC Wing.

During the past 20 years, there has been an extension of the University Campus. This is borne out by the fact that a huge and majestic building, as part of the New Campus, has been constructed on 75 acres of land provided by the State Government on Sitapur Road near the [[Institute of Engineering and Technology]].<ref>{{Cite web|url = http://lkouniv.ac.in/en/page/campus-location|title = Campus Location|access-date = 2019-08-25|publisher = University of Lucknow}}</ref>
