An overview of the project
In 1959 we took temporary residence in 25 Gordon Street. We're still here today, but UCL has changed significantly. Originally the plan was to build a Students' Union building where the new Student Centre is today, but we're happy where we are. Now it's time to seize the opportunity to turn our spaces across campus into places to be proud of. 
What's next in our space development
We’re converting the study space on floor two of 25 Gordon St. into offices for some of our staff teams and moving the Advice Service from the Bloomsbury Theatre building to floor one of 25 Gordon St. This frees up space on floor one and two of Lewis’s and floor one of the Bloomsbury Theatre.
Lunar New Year - Year of the Dragon!
Lunar New Year is here and it's the year of the Dragon!  Here’s some info on the celebrations and how you can get involved.
