York House to be demolished as West Slope preparations continue

Making way for our new West Slope development, York House is set to be demolished over the coming months, the final demolition ahead of West Slope construction beginning this Spring.
Previously used as a student residence and hub for key student services, York House played an important role in student life for many years. With our student services now relocated to new locations - our Security Team is now in Bramber House, the Print Unit is now in Hastings and the ResLife team in Northfields – and with outdated student accommodation no longer viable, York House will be demolished creating much needed space for new student accommodation and new campus amenities, including a purpose-built Health and Wellbeing Centre, larger supermarket and a cafe.
Demolition is scheduled to start towards the end of February and will last several weeks once underway. For all the latest updates of what’s happening and when, join our Better Campus Viva Engage community.
