Central Hall’s polished new look is complete after months of work on the Heslington West campus.
The famous York spaceship has been surrounded in scaffolding since late October.
In June, University registrar David Duncan told Vision that the work will involve “sealing the roof, replacing deteriorating concrete and painting the exterior.”
The project, which saw the Central Hall bridge closed off throughout the first term, cost a total of £655,000.
Second-year Economics student Ben Huckle said, “Central Hall certainly looks a lot better, but how much paint can you buy for six hundred grand?”
The refurbished building reopened for exams this week.
