SOAS' expansion into the North Block represents one of the biggest and most fundamental changes to SOAS in its 100 year history. It’s vital that students and staff know what is going on and have as much input as possible. We need to guarantee that the future of SOAS is the future we actually want!
SOAS has purchased, and is currently renovating, the North Block of Senate House, which is due to be completed in early 2016 for SOAS’ centenary. This will replace Vernon Square and create one central campus in Bloomsbury.
The expansion into the North Block represents one of the biggest and most fundamental changes to SOAS in its 100 year history. It will cost an estimated £35 million, and will potentially result in an increase of some 700 students.
On Friday 3rd October at 3pm the Senate House North Block project team will be giving a presentation in the JCR about what’s happening, what the current plans are for how the space will be used and what it will look like, plans for accessibility and environmental sustainability and new possibilities e.g. the development of cycle parking.
Please come along to ask any questions, and share your ideas and input!
