NEW OUTDOOR EVENT SPACE

The open upper level is a peaceful courtyard that doubles as an accessible outdoor event and social space, with hidden power outlets for bringing in visual and sound equipment. The Students’ Union has held events in the Wilkins Terrace, and it’s also available for corporate events — with the refurbished refectory offering the option for catering, too. The Terrace is also home to the Donor Wall (see page 22) — an artwork showcasing UCL’s most generous funders, with the Terrace playing host to a hugely successful event to celebrate its opening.

FEATURES THAT MATCH THE SURROUNDING BUILDINGS

Natural Portland stone was selected as a cladding material for its durability, sustainability and sense of light that complements the neighbouring Grade I listed Wilkins Building.
