We’re on the Move (Temporarily!) – Here’s What You Need to Know

As we prepare for the closure of the The Students’ Union Building (also known as the Student Centre) and the temporary move to Neptune House (dates TBC), there are some works that need to be completed in Gun House for the work to begin. This means the services that can be found in Gun House will have to make a temporary move, but don’t worry—you’ll still find everything you need in the Student Centre, which remains open and fully operational. The works will take about six weeks to complete, and we will be moving on the 18th February 2025.
If you're looking for support, here’s where to go:
- The Student Centre – Open as normal, with all key services available, such as the Shop and Reception.
- The Groups & Rep Teams – They’ll have space in The Huddle, ready to help.
- The Advice Service – Temporarily relocated under the Student Centre in the old Eye Clinic (don’t worry if you're not sure, pop in and speak to our Reception Team, they can tell you where to go!).
The Advice Service will be operating as usual on the 17th February (10am - 4pm) and will be open from 12pm - 4pm on Tuesday 18th February in the new temporary location.
Importantly, this won’t affect Student Groups’ room bookings or equipment storage, so no need to worry about access.
When we learn more about the move to Neptune House, we’ll let you know!
