360 Renovation Update Hannah Moore
2nd Year English Literature
The announcement of the closure of the main room of 3sixty was met with some questions over the disruption to union nights, the changes being made and the date for reopening.
3Sixty is scheduled to be reopened in time for Freshers 2018.
3sixty is scheduled to be reopened in time for Freshers 2018, with the first student event being The Welcome Mash Up on September 23rd 2018.
This also means that the Summer Ball will not be using the main room This also means that the Summer Ball will not be using the main room, just as the Grad Ball that took place
on May 18th did not. Richard Lines, the business development manager of RUSU helped to clarify some questions about the renovation. “The main difference once the refurbishment is complete will be an improved venue with improved access for disabled guests, larger bar service areas and more flexibility to host a wider range of events.” He also defended the timing of this work saying that the “detrimental effect is limited” due to the general capacity of union nights being significantly reduced in Summer Term. According to the RUSU
website this update will include “cutting edge audio/ visual systems, improved access all around and much-needed improvements to facilities and décor.” The maximum capacity of 2,500 will not change after the refurbishment (it is
currently 1165 without the main room) and the main entrance will go back to its original location rather than through the reception entrance (by bubble tea) that serves as the current temporary entrance. (Continued on page 2)
