History
The Student Centre was developed as a home for the University's non-academic student support services as well as the Students' Union. It was built in 2012 and opened to staff and students in November that year, though it was officially opened on 20 June 2013 by the University's Chancellor, Richard Farleigh. Guests at the opening ceremony included Simon Hughes MP, representatives from Hawkins\Brown, the building's architects, business partners from the Southwark community and University staff. The ceremony consisted of speeches by the Chancellor, Vice Chancellor and Students' Union President along with a barbeque and student displays.
