Introduction
In January 2012, SOAS was granted ‘preferred bidder’ status for the Senate Hosue North Block. This is the first step towards SOAS moving towards a single-site campus in the heart of Bloomsbury in 2015. Moving to Senate House North Block will bring many benefits for our staff and students, including new state-of-the-art research, teaching and student facilities, all in one precinct.
This exciting opportunity offers the potential for growth and development as we prepare to commemorate our centenary and as we plan for our next 100 years.
Our significant presence within Senate House, which currently houses central academic bodies and services, will enable us to make the most of the benefits of being a part of the University of London.
Over the coming months, a great deal of work needs to be done to make sure that we are ready in time for the move in the summer of 2015.
We need to plan how we will use the space across our campus and determine what facilities we will need and want.
Staff and students will play a key role in determining what our campus will look like in the future through an extensive consultation process.
Consultation
We have appointed designers and have commenced the first phase of our consultation to work out how we want to use the space across our campus. We have held consultation workshops with staff but if you missed out on these you can still have your ideas considered by answering the consultation questions by 30 November 2012.
