New UCL Cruciform Hub officially opens
23 January 2015
The Cruciform Hub was officially opened by Professor Jane Dacre, President
of the Royal College of Physicians and Dr Deborah Gill, Interim Director of
the UCL Medical School, on 15 January 2015.
The Cruciform Hub opened following a year-long
refurbishment to create a new teaching and learning space for UCL students
and staff, as well as NHS staff working at University College London
Hospital.
The hub provides a new medical library within the lower ground floor of
the Grade II-listed Cruciform Building, and includes a library, quiet study
spaces, group work space, computer clusters and teaching rooms. It also
features two exhibition walls, which showcase medical artefacts from UCL
Museums & Collections, together with medical illustrations from UCL
Special Collections.
Entertainment during the evening was provided by the UCL Medical School
choir.
The project was a collaboration between UCL Library Services, UCL Estates
and other Professional Services divisions, in partnership with UCL Medical
School.
