A new experience for our students
A vibrant, supportive and social student experience
We’re creating a new space for students. Connecting the University Library and Students’ Union, the Student Hub will create a vibrant, supportive and social student experience. It will link the Library and the Students' Union building. We’ll also be renovating the existing Students’ Union building, providing spaces for social learning and wellbeing, a lounge, a coffee bar/ kitchen, a shop and a flexible events space.
While we’re busy creating the new space, the Students’ Union will be relocated to Neptune Building, just a 2-minute walk away. The newly renovated space will house the Students’ Union during the Student Hub works, to ensure our students continue to get all the benefits of our fantastic Students’ Union during their time with us.
