Building
The main Students' Union building was designed by architects Stillman & Eastwick-Field (now part of the TP Bennett practice), with some guidance from the University's architect, J.A. Pickavance.
From January 2012, the ground floor went through a £2.5 million refurbishment. This was completed in September 2012, before students arrived for the start of the 2012/13 academic year. With this new development came the relocation of the Independent Advice Unit to the ground floor, the coffee bar 'Barista' becoming 'Blend' and the catering facilities 'The Kiln' and 'Harveys' becoming 'Munch' with a built to purpose kitchen. You can see images of the development in the Redevelopment Gallery.
