Event Recap: Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø200 pop-up

Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø200 team talking to people

On Tuesday, 4 June, there was a Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø200 pop-up event in the Wilkins Building, showcasing its Physical Legacy projects in a bespoke exhibition, as well as engaging with staff and students on campus.

A highlight of the pop-up was The Quadrangle over 200 Years (see pdf below), an exhibition by Professor Georgina Brewis and Dr Amy Spencer, which gave students, staff and visitors the opportunity to learn about the past, present and future of Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø’s Quad and its main campus spaces, the focus of the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø200 Physical Legacy projects.ÌýÌý
