Senate House University of London
Senate House, the administrative centre of the University of London, lies in the heart of Bloomsbury between the School of Oriental and African Studies to the north, with the British Museum to the south. The main building contains the administrative offices of the University of London, including the offices of the Chancellor of the University, as well as the entire collection of the Senate House Library. The building consists of 19 floors and is 210 feet (64 m) high. The main entrance is from Malet Street to the west and the rear entrance from Russell Square to the east. The grand Art Deco design was the work of architect Charles Holden, who was appointed as architect in February 1931. The construction, which was undertaken by Holland, Hannen & Cubitts began in 1932, and King George V laid the ceremonial foundation stone on 26 June 1933. The building was completed five years later in 1937.
