BRAND NEW LONDON STUDENT CENTRE OPENS

Following the enormously successful establishment of new Jewish student all across the UK, UJS and Hillel have turned their attention to London.

This redevelopment and modernization will help to achieve our core aims of expanding student engagement and increasing interest in community activity among the student body.

This brand new student facility will be able to welcome a greater number of students in a stunning space occupying 4,000 square feet designed with a contemporary feel on the corner of Euston Road and Upper Woburn Place. As well as a much enlarged dining and lounge area the new centre will incorporate other much needed facilities such as study areas, high speed internet connections and FREE wi-fi zones. There will also be a café serving quality kosher cuisine, a chaplain's office where students can get confidential advice and fully equipped meeting rooms for student societies. It will be the perfect venue for Friday night dinners and student programmes and events as well as for relaxing and meeting friends. Students have been consulted about the layout, location and facilities of the new centre and by responding to these requests and concerns we will increase the number of students using its services.

Commenting on the new centre Daniel Marcus, CEO of UJS-Hillel, said: "The opening of the new London student centre is great news for the whole Jewish student community and is part of our commitment to meeting the needs of 21st century students. The response from students regarding the new centre has been extremely positive and I believe that these new facilities will inspire more students to engage with their Judaism. Crucially, the Jewish Societies (JSocs) will have a unique and cutting edge space to creatively provide social, cultural, educational and political programmes for all London based Jewish students. The centre ultimately belongs to the students and I look forward to seeing it become the 'must go to' place for London's Jewish students."
