University House building will be refurbished and integrated with the new Students’ Union built in 2010.
Work is scheduled to begin in late July and finish in September 2013. The work has been carefully planned in phases, to minimise disruption.
Dr Philip Harvey, Registrar and Secretary, said: “The Students’ Union lies at the heart of campus life for staff and students alike and it is a pleasure to work in partnership with the Students’ Union and its officers on this next stage in its evolution.
“I am excited that the project will see a new and improved University House come together with the Students’ Union in a way that will not only enhance the student experience but also the working lives of the wider University community for many years to come.”
