Facilities
The main union building is mostly underground. It has a small bar known as 'The Snug' with sofas and 3D televisions. Across from the bar is 'the Lounge' with tables and sofas, and 'the Snack Shack', a fast-food bar selling both eat-in and take-away food. Across from the small bar area is a room known as 'Illusion' which has a dance floor and pool tables, and is sometimes used for private events. Down from 'Illusion' is the main bar, known as 'Sub:Lime' which is where most of the union's events take place: it has a dance floor with DJ booth and projectors. In 2010 the union's bar won first place in the National Union of Students' Best Bar None competition, which assesses how bars manage student safety.
Attached to the main building on the first floor is an advice centre, open weekdays between 10am and 3pm. It offers to UPSU members a range of free and confidential advice, including financial and academic advice, and free pregnancy test kits.
The union has two shops on campus, U:Shop, opposite the library, sells goods such as milk and snacks, while U:Shop2, inside the UPSU building, sells merchandise including university hoodies and gifts.

—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
“Marriage is good enough for the lower classes: they have facilities for desertion that are denied to us.”
