Photographs of the Student Union in its various homes over the decades.

LSBU's Students' Union has moved homes several times, originally starting life in the Borough Road building before finding its home in Rotary Street during the 1970s. From September 1990 the SU was housed in the George Overend building on Keyworth Street, which was named after Prof. George Overend, a former member of the Governing Body. The building was formerly used by a printing machine factory company called Vickers and was purchased by the Polytechnic in 1987, at first to house the Finance Department. The building was altered by RMJM Architects to contain a SU shop, bar, hairdressers and events hall. The SU backed onto the Learning Resource Centre.

The SU was moved back into Rotary Street in the 2000s when the Keyworth Street site was demolished to make way for LSBU's K2 building. A temporary structure was erected along Thomas Doyle Street providing a two storey SU building with shop, bar, offices, events area and outside seating. It was used until November 2012 when the Union moved into the new Students Centre next to Borough Road Building.

In the 1950s the expansion of student numbers and technology led the National College to seek new premises. Its original accommodation, a special laboratory building in the grounds of the Borough Polytechnic Annexe, was ill adapted and cramped. The Ministry of Education agreed to cover the cost of a new building and in 1959 the Governors appealed to Industry to cover the costs of the specialist equipment needed for the new building (please see NC/5/2). The building was located on the Southwark Bridge Road (it is now called the Faraday Wing) and contained laboratories for Heating, Ventilating, Air Conditioning, Fan Engineering, Refrigeration, Dust and Fume Removal and Heat Transfer. The new building was officially opened by the Minister for Education, Sir David Eccles, MP on the 20 November 1961 although it had been open to students in October 1960 (please see NC/2/3/3 and NC/3/4).
