(1929-31,
A. McNaughton) The union is also well-known for its snooker hall where too many students have spent too much time. Activity of this sort has been frowned on for centuries and an early example was in 1681 when the Town Council decided `to caus remove all bulliart tables neir the colledge, at least to discharge theis who hes them to permitt any studenttis in the colledge to play therat, being the desyre of the maisteris therof`.

The University Union is situated at the bottom of University Avenue and it was built as a social centre for students. |
|
The union`s doorway, which is dwarfed by the twin drum towers, is decorated with a relief sculpture of St Mungo and badges of the university`s nations. The university`s badge is placed high up on the gable. |
