Abertay Union
Home to Abertay's 4000+ students, this building was constructed in 2005 at a cost of £6 million. The Union sits at the heart of the campus. It is the focal point for student entertainment and recreation and contains numerous outlets including Aroma coffee bar, Bar One, the Sports Bar, Hideout nightclub and Campus Shop.
On the top floor of the building is the Hannah Maclure Centre (HMC), a cafe and art gallery which shows exhibitions from local, national and international artists, as well as hosting university events. The HMC also features a cinema which regularly has free film screenings, which are open to the public.
The University of Abertay Dundee Students' Association (UADSA) is based in the Union on the second floor where the President and Vice-President have their offices. The UADSA co-ordinates all clubs and societies and acts as the voice and representation of all of Abertay's students. Current President is William "Mocko" Mohieddeen and the Vice-President is Sarah Samson.

Famous quotes containing the word union:
“The man whose whole activity is diverted to inner meditation becomes insensible to all his surroundings. If he loves, it is not to give himself, to blend in fecund union with another being, but to meditate on his love. His passions are mere appearances, being sterile. They are dissipated in futile imaginings, producing nothing external to themselves.”
—Emile Durkheim (1858–1917)
