The £420,000 refurbishment programme at the Luton and Bedford campuses is due to be completed when students return at the end of September.

Students at the Luton campus will be able to enjoy up-to-date urban décor, funky new furniture and the brand new Metro Bar & Kitchen space , as well as a new Starbucks coffee outlet.

The Hub at the Bedford campus being refurbished into a sports bar. Dedicated seating arrangements will surround a new games area, entertainment stage and bottle and food bar, and the exciting new addition of Neo Pizza.

Beds SU Vice President for Activities & Engagement Ashley Beckman-Whelan, said: “We are incredibly excited about the refurbishment. I can’t wait to see the new food options that will be available, and the addition of Starbucks to my day is a blessing. A place for student to call their own is exactly what they need to feel welcome at this University.”

As well as the refurbishment, Beds SU also have a bright new look and logo, with each colour corresponding to one of the four new department structures for Beds SU; Be Involved, Be Entertained, Be Supported and Be Heard.

The new look is reflected in the new website that can be found at www.bedssu.co.uk, which has been designed to be more accessible and easier to use.

Places are still available through Clearing on a number of courses, and campus tours are still available. Call the dedicated Clearing hotline number on 0300 3300 073 or visit Clearing 2016 'Make it Happen' www.beds.ac.uk/makeithappen
