Your brand new Union atrium

The light and airy covered space running right through the heart of the Union will be an ideal location for anyone who fancies taking the weight of the world off their shoulders with a drink or snack from any of the numerous outlets available to the atrium. Alternatively if people just want to come and relax in a nice inviting atmosphere then this is the place to do it.

This will be the social hub of campus with tables, chairs and workspaces throughout. The balcony running around the first floor of the atrium will give a real community feel and remind everyone what a part of this union they are. There is also a raise in the floor with the possibility that some Union democratic meetings could take place here. It has a capacity of around 400 people so there is an enormous amount we could do with it. Again this is all about making every area of the Union as flexible as possible.

This will also be where the majority of queuing for Union events in the main venue will take place and so no more standing out in the rain whilst you wait to get into Top B – bonus!
