The University’s brand new £34m Campus Centre opened its doors on Monday, 11 October 2010. Designed with both students and staff in mind, the centre houses a 240-seat lecture theatre, exhibition area for displaying student work and informal learning spaces. It also features the Students’ Union support services and executive offices alongside places to eat – all with an international flavour. The stylish ground-floor restaurant is linked to an outdoor area and the Students’ Union lounge can be found on the mezzanine floor.
