Mithras House - a new home for humanities and social science

We’re making changes to our university estate, so we can provide the best environments for our students to live, learn and socialise in, and support our net zero carbon ambitions.

At the Moulsecoomb campus, we’re working on exciting changes to Mithras House to get it ready for the arrival of our School of Humanities and Social Sciences from autumn 2023. Bringing together all of our humanities and social science students will create a stimulating academic community, enabling you to learn together, sharing experiences and with access to new and exciting facilities. 

Working with our architect, we’re redesigning the first and part of the second floor of the building to provide an inspiring new home for our humanities and social science students and staff, and new facilities which can be used by other schools too.

Main developments

  • Our new Hellerup staircase will link the first and second floors of the building, providing an impressive shared space which can be used for lectures, events and as an informal learning and meeting space.
  • Flexible teaching and research labs will ensure the best possible learning environments whether working alone or with others.
  • New dedicated exhibition space will allow students to showcase their work and connect with local communities, organisations and companies.
  • Spaces to study, alone or with others, quietly and collaboratively.
  • Widened corridors and new glass partitions will open up the building throughout, providing light and airy spaces to meet and work.
  • A new reception area will provide a warm welcome for school visitors.

The planning process for our estate improvements is ongoing and as such aspects of our plans are subject to change.
