  • Connaught Hall Residents’ Handbook 2010 / 2011 SESSION
    abcdef University of London Connaught Hall Residents’ HANDBOOK 2010 / 2011 SESSION www.connaught-hall.org.uk Connaught Hall Connaught Hall is a fully catered University of London intercollegiate hall of residence for full-time students from all the colleges and institutes of the University. We aim to provide a secure, supportive, friendly, and tolerant environment in which our residents can study, relax, and socialise. Connaught Hall was established in 1919 by hrh Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught and Strathearn — the third son of Queen Victoria — at 18 Torrington Square as a private hall of residence for male students, a memorial to the Duchess of Connaught, who died in 1917. The Duke gave the Hall to the University of London in 1928, but it was not until 1961 that Connaught Hall moved out of Torrington Square to its present location in Tavistock Square: a converted Georgian terrace with a Grade II listed façade. Women have been admitted since 2001. One of eight intercollegiate halls of residence, Connaught Hall now accommodates 226 students. There is an even mix of men and women and a great diversity of cultural and social backgrounds. Most residents are first-year undergraduates, with around 20% being allowed to return for a second year at the Warden’s discretion; approximately 10% are postgraduates, and about a third are overseas students. Most accommodation is in single study-bedrooms; there is room for ten students in twin rooms. There is a washbasin in every room, but toilet and shower facilities are all shared. Every room has telephone and internet connections.

Background The School of Oriental and African Studies is Europe’s leading centre for the study of Africa and Asia. The School comprises some 3,500 students and 420 staff. The School is housed in three main buildings on a site adjacent Russell Square, which forms one part of the University of London’s Bloomsbury Precinct. The School leases the land on which its Russell Square main buildings are situated. In addition the School has a satellite campus located at Vernon Square in the London Borough of Islington. The School co-operates with the University of London in the general maintenance and upkeep of the University Precinct. The School does not own or manage any of the car-parking or cycle storage facilities located in the Bloomsbury Precinct area. At the time of the development of the School’s Brunei Gallery in 1996, the School funded the pedestrianisation of the areas between the Gallery and its other main buildings, assisting the University in the removal of 55 car parking spaces. In 2001 the School developed its Vernon Square site offering some 15 car-parking spaces and facilities for storage of some 40 cycles. During the last eight years the School has constructed two student residences in the southeast corner of the London Borough of Islington. With the co- operation of the Borough, car parking on-site was provided only for residential staff and for students with disabilities.

    17–22 JUNE 2014 LONDON’S GLOBAL DOCUMENTARY FILM FESTIVAL DIRECTORY 1 Sponsors GREETINGS - DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT UCL FACULTY UCL FACULTY OF UCL FACULTY OF FACULTIES OF ARTS & OF THE BUILT ENGINEERING POPULATION HEALTH HUMANITIES, SOCIAL & ENVIRONMENT SCIENCES SCIENCES HISTORICAL SCIENCES Open City Docs Fest shows films to change the way you see the world. From family strife, economic meltdown and the surprisingly redemptive flows of the global economy in our opening Gala to the poisonous soil of homophobia cultivated by Vladimir Putin’s regime on the closing night, the variety and complexity of the wide world is revealed at London’s documentary film festival. Awards Sponsors London’s global documentary film festival offers a place to explore the new politics emerging in the 21st century. Two visions of society clamour for dominance: one, fearful, nostalgic and drawn to bringing down the shutters, creating a safe but closed space where all those who are different are pushed out; the other, underpinned by a deep optimism in the ability of the human spirit to Cultural Support adjust its balance, thrilled by the vigour of hybrid forms, and above all with a belief in the open society – open to movement, open to change, open to the new global politics and open to diversity. As films across our festival show, this is a far more complex struggle than those of the last century – and despite generations of democracy in some parts of the world it is one that is a long, long way from being settled. Open City Docs Fest creates thought-provoking juxtapositions.
