Pub to remain on Level 0

Holland Club set to be saved in College U-Turn

Following a meeting of the Management Board on 20 April, an agreement has been reached over the proposed development of the space currently occupied by the Holland Club on Level 0 of Sherfield.

The space will continue to provide a “pub facility”, which will be open to staff, postgraduate research and postgraduate taught students, along with a catering facility.

Consideration will be given as to whether undergraduates will have access to the catering facility.

An additional ‘social space’ will be accessible throughout the day and over weekends.

An advisory Group consisting of the Senior Dean, representatives from Imperial College Union, the Holland Club, and Commercial Services has been formed and will work on the next stage of the design process. Designs and costings will be submitted to the College’s Portfolio Review Board in June or July for approval before any further progress is made.
