Historia
The Vickers Building on Keyworth Street was formerly used by a printing machine factory company called Vickers and was purchased by the Polytechnic in 1987.
In 1989 South Bank Poly-Enterprises Limited took out a contract with the construction company Mansells Ltd to convert the former Vickers Building into suitable accommodation for the Student Union, as part of an overall conversion programme. There was an agreement between South Bank Poly-Enterprises Limited and South Bank Polytechnic for South Bank Poly-Enterprises Limited to pay all costs incurred and be reimbursed by the Polytechnic.
It was renovated and renamed the George Overend Building, after a former member of the governing body. From September 1990 it housed the Student Union. The building was demolished in 2007 to make way for K2.
