Brand new Students' Union

The Learning and Teaching building creates a stunning new home for StrathUnion at the centre of campus. We're bringing the outside in, with beautiful trees and green spaces in the heart of our indoor space - The Terrace - where it all happens! 

Whether you’re looking to enjoy the amazing year-round events programme of live music and sport, chill out, or get involved with more than 100 clubs and societies, the new space has something for you.

The multi-million pound investment in the Union ensures sector leading services for students at Strathclyde – taking inspirations from a 'sunny day in Glasgow' the new union will surpass all your expectations – this is now one of Glasgow’s premier venues and the only one focussed solely on students.
