Students at the University of Suffolk are set to benefit from vibrant new social areas and a larger home for the Students’ Union as work begins to develop a new student hub on the waterfront campus in Ipswich.
The former library building on the north side of the campus will be transformed to provide exciting new spaces for students to meet with friends, study or relax in between lectures. There will be social areas, a new gym and fitness studio, a large events space, prayer room and a wellbeing area, along with Students’ Union offices and bookable meeting rooms for SU clubs and societies to use.
Lee-Ann Durrant, SU president of Education said: “This is a really exciting moment for our students as the building will provide us with a vibrant space right at the heart of campus, bringing students together to connect, relax and make the most of their time here. With new social spaces, fitness facilities and room for our growing number of student societies, it’s going to transform how students experience campus life. I’m especially looking forward to seeing it become a place where our community can come together and thrive.”
