The Students' Association building was constructed in 1927, originally known as the Assembly Building, it later was renamed the Art School. The whole building was handed over by the GSA to the Association in the late 20th century. The Art School contained a bar and a club and over the decades established itself as a well-renowned venue in the local music scene. In November 2019, the venue was permanently closed by the Association over financial difficulties which resulted in the redundancy of 30 staff.
