Student Services building opens Since 1966 the HUB has been at the heart of campus life for students. After a dedicated renovation process, which began back in October 2005, the reinvented home to Student Services opened its doors in December 2008. Student wellbeing has always been at the heart of the University's ethos and this is reflected in the new building. A stone’s throw from both the library and McMillan Reading Room, students can surf the web using the building's free wi-fi,grab a coffee or a bite to eat in the café, see a doctor, chat to a careers’ adviser or simply catch up with friends and tutors. So, what's in a name? Well known to students over the decades as the HUB, the new development brings with it not only a host of state-of-the-art facilities and features to serve the noughties student but also a new title. Sir William Kerr Fraser, Principal of the University from 1988 until 1995 and Chancellor until 2006, along with his wife, Lady Fraser, have shown an active interest in the welfare of students over the years. To recognise their commitment, the building was renamed in their honour. In keeping with contemporary values, the new building has been carefully refurbished with the environment in mind, achieving high standards of energy efficiency and sustainability. The building has maintained its original structural shell to avoid demolition waste while new materials for the build, such as the cladding and concrete pavings, were all sourced locally in Scotland and Northern England. Project Manager Ann Don commented: ‘We are in the vanguard of universities who are thinking “student first”. With this bold venture we have raised the bar on the provision of integrated student services.’ In January a plaque was unveiled and the building officially opened by the Frasers. Since then it has been buzzing with life and promises to be the perfect haven for students throughout their university experience for years to come.
