Building For Your Future...

£26m Library redevelopmentThe University of Hull is investing in a £26m redevelopment of the Brynmor Jones Library, which will transform the building inside and out and create an inspiring place to study, work and meet. Due for completion in 2014, the redevelopment includes everything from state of the art wireless technology to a showcase for the University’s art collection. Keep up to date with what’s happening at: www.hull.ac.uk/lli

international squash courtsThe University’s Hull Campus squash courts recently underwent an £80,000 investment to bring them up to international competition standard. The joint investment project by the University and England Squash and Racketball, forms part of the build-up to the Allam British Open Squash Championships which will take place in Hull in 2013 and 2014. The new glass-back courts were launched recently by international squash player James Willstrop. For further information please see the website: www.hull.ac.uk/squashstar

The new £6m biomedical research facilityHome to important research into cancer and cardiovascular, the Allam building is a key facility in the University’s science and health offering. Made possible thanks to a £1.5m donation from East Yorkshire businessman and honorary graduate Dr Assem Allam, the building will be officially opened later this year.

Making a Weekend of Your Time Here?It’s no secret that we are one of the oldest universities in the country, but did you know that 10 minutes down the road our city centre offers lots of opportunities for a fun day out. From The Deep, the world’s only submarium, to eight different museums including Ferens Art Gallery, there is something for everyone.

With a £200m investment Ferensway has been transformed into a vibrant commercial hub with St Stephens shopping and leisure complex, bringing together high street shops, a cinema, restaurants and a hotel all under one roof.

For those culture vultures there are three theatres in the city. The most famous of which is the nationally renowned Hull Truck Theatre. Other venues across the city include Hull New Theatre, where you can see touring shows from the West End and City Hall, a frequent venue for stars of the stand-up comedy circuit. KC Stadium hosts Hull FC Rugby League and Hull City football matches, yet also doubles as a concert venue seeing the likes of REM, Bon Jovi and JLS. Likewise, Hull Ice Arena regularly welcomes A-listers such as Keane, The Killers, and the Arctic Monkeys.

Only a 15-minute drive from Hull is the historic market town of Beverley. With its cobbled streets, a majestic Minster, designer boutiques and a thriving café culture, Beverley is a must see destination.

Hull is ideally located to explore some of our 35 miles of heritage coastline, which is peppered with seaside towns and villages. Hornsea is just a half hour’s drive from Hull with a lovely sandy beach, and a busy promenade to stroll along. Further along the coast you can find the Victorian Spa town of Scarborough and the traditional maritime town of Whitby, with its thirteenth century abbey and strongliteraryconnectionstoDracula;bothtownsaregreat destinations for a trip to the seaside.
