Dear students,

I don’t often write to you all during the holidays, but today I have some exciting news to share with you – our brand new Student Centre will be opening for all students to use from 9am, Monday 25 April!

The Student Centre is YOUR new space on campus. We wanted to make sure we could provide the very best space for students, so we’ve invested over £28m in the state-of-the-art building, and from next Monday I would really encourage you to take the time to go and have a look and start using the amazing spaces available.

Over time there will be more services and activities being delivered from the Centre, so come September you will see even more activities that you may want to get involved with. We’ll keep you up-to-date on these developments through our regular communications and on the Student Hub.

You can take a sneak peek of what it’s like inside by watching the video below

Student Centre location and more information

The Student Centre is located at Refectory Road, Falmer, Brighton, and the main entrance to the building is opposite the Health Centre on Refectory Road.

There are lots of great facilities in the Centre for you to use from the 25 April, including:

• The atrium area opens 24 hours a day, seven days a week (with 24/7 onsite security) for studying etc.
• Fully accessible
• Spaces for workshops, individual study, group work
• Areas that lend themselves for more quiet and calm working
• Space for students to meet and collaborate
