The development of the space came about in 2020, after feedback from student representatives. A lot of research and conversations with the University went into having a permanent space for the community. NUSU want the space to be used, respected, and constantly improved – so make sure to visit and scan the QR codes to give your thoughts and feedback.
You can find signposting to support within the space, such as talking to a member of NUSU’s welfare team or visiting the Support & Advice Hub. Alternatively, you can book an appointment with a professional adviser, to talk about any issues. You can access this support on the Ground Floor of NUSU.
