Here at Teesside University Students' Union (TUSU), we are proud to provide a range of safe, welcoming and inclusive study social spaces for students and, in some circumstances, the general public to use throughout the year for a range of purposes. Many of them are also available for students and the general public to hire out for private events. Find out more about them below.

• The Love It Lounge (1st floor, SU Building) is available seven days a week whenever the building is open* with a wide range of space and seating where students can study, meet and socialise. The space is often adapted for freshers' fairs, sales, campaign days and other big SU events. It's also regularly used as a "second room" alongside The Terrace at night to show alternative sports matches on the big screen in there and during larger TUSU and external events held in the building.  The venue can be booked out by students and non-students for external events; find out more here.

• The Terrace (1st floor, SU Building) is open seven days a week during semester time for a wide range of delicious hot food (tees-su.org.uk/theterrace for full info), beverages, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Students and non-students use it throughout the day to meet, socialise, eat and drink.  It is also open at night and at weekends for events such as our Monday Night Quiz, Karaoke, and the Shangri-La warm-up on Saturdays, and it is a key part of big one-off events such as Nightmare on Southfield Road (Halloween), St Patrick's Day celebrations (March) and end of year events. Many people also enjoy a range of sports on our state-of-the-art big screens, including Premiership and European football, International Rugby and more besides. The space is available to hire for external events; find out more here. Open 10 am to late on weekdays, 12.30 pm to late on Saturdays. 12.30 pm to 6 pm on Sundays. Food is available from 10 am to 4 pm on weekdays, 12.30 pm to 4 pm on Saturdays, not available Sundays. 

• The Hub (2nd floor, SU Building) is a modern, multi-purpose venue used for a range of day and evening events held by the Students' Union and external partners or clients, including freshers fairs, society activities, club and theme nights and live performances.  The venue is available to students on request by liaising with our events team through venuehire@tees-su.org.uk. It's also a hugely popular venue for external events, including birthday parties, wedding receptions, corporate functions, awards dinners and presentations, plus much more; find out more here.

• The SU Studio (2nd floor, SU Building) is a space for students to learn, create and develop individually or in groups. The main venue includes a wide range of break-out, study and meeting spaces alongside 10 computers. If you fancy a quick snack while you're in there, then why not take advantage of our "heat and eat" space, including a kettle and microwave for all students to use with food they have brought in. There are also two bookable private meeting rooms alongside it which students can reserve by speaking to staff on the SU Welcome Desk (1st floor, SU Building). The main space is available 9 am to 5 pm on weekdays only during semester time and may sometimes be unavailable if in use as part of TUSU or external events.  The venue can be booked out by students and non-students; find out more about using it for your event here.
