Students' Union Building
The Union consists of Union South (largely food, drink and entertainment) and Union North (mostly administration, offices and meeting rooms).
The Students' Union got its first building, Union South, in 1975, after a long struggle with the University under Vice-Chancellor Jack Butterworth, who said to Will Fitzgerald (President of the Union in 1970-1): "the Students' Union will never have its own building." Union North was added in the 1990s and, until recently, was linked to Union South by the 'link corridor.'

Famous quotes containing the words union and/or building:
“My Christian friends, in bonds of love, whose hearts in sweetest union join,
Your friendship’s like a drawing band, yet we must take the parting hand.
Your company’s sweet, your union dear; Your words delightful to my ear,
Yet when I see that we must part, You draw like cords around my heart.”
—John Blain (18th century)
“The limits of prudence: one cannot jump out of a burning building gradually.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
