Comment from the President of the Students' Union

Jonny Ellison, president of NTSU, said: "The students' union has carried out a lot of research with its membership to help us build a better understanding of what students expect, and want from their facilities. We were then given the opportunity to share our findings with the University, allowing us to have a direct influence over the design and purpose of the building."
