When is it going? We had the best times in there - Aquarius! Building is revolting though. Does that mean Nelson Mandela no longer has a tribute to him from the Stoodents Yooniun..

Ahh the home of Stardust! Shame the building was always a crappy brown colour - be good to see it change to something brighter but I do hope they keep the name.

Seen loads of good gigs there. AFI, Dead Kennedys, The Undead. I liked it as a venue. Shame really.

Why not call the new one the PW Botha building for a bit of balance?

No it'll have to be named after a current trendy terrorist.
How about the Bin Laden Bar?

There is painting of Nelson Mandela, along with other people who had rooms dedicated to them in the old NMB inside the new students union building.
