Read on to find out what's going on in and around the Union building and how to get in! Much of the Union is open for business as usual... pop in and say hello!
As the University completes their work to the area in front of the Union building, we've start work on improvements within the Union building!
See the photos here.
- You asked us for more seating and social areas, so we're improving the Lounge and refurbishing the old Game On space.
- You asked us to make our bars even better, so we're refurbishing The Terrace and fitting a new kitchen. The Terrace is now closed for the summer while this work takes place.
- You asked us to make the building feel different to the rest of campus and to give societies more space for stalls and events, so we're refurbishing the foyer and Info Point. Access into the building via the main front door is blocked. You can, however, still get into the Union building through the front shops entrance (near Changing Gear). This is also where the LUU Helpdesk is located should you have any enquiries.
All the work will be done by the end of August... we'll keep you posted with images and reports over the summer.
The Precinct
Is finished and looking prerry smart!
The Foyer is looking so big...
The false ceiling has been removed and the walls have been painted; the new foyer space now looks huge! The builders are currently installing the new helpdesk and we are preparing for decorating the space once the builders have finished. There is still no access into or through the Union foyer. LUU Helpdesk is now located at the front shops level entrance, opposite Changing Gear.
Rear of the Building is getting a new lift...
The work to excavate the new lift shaft outside the Mine rear entrance is underway. You won't be able to access the building via the entrance near Union Books.
The Terrace is closed for the summer!
The kitchen has been installed, walls have been painted, a new floor has been layed, amongst many other Terrace reburbishments. The builders are finishing off installing the bar and new seating areas but are making great progress and aim to finish at the beginning of September. Hurrah!
If you have any further questions about the building works please contact the LUU Helpdesk at email: luuhelpdesk@leeds.ac.uk. We will continue to keep you informed throughout the summer about the building work going on at LUU.
