The planning of the extension to the Union began in 1963 during the term of office of the 1962-63 Students' Association Executive. Both the 1962-63 and 1963-64 Students' Association have submitted suggestions to the Student Union Management Committee. The Management Committee has set up a sub-committee to prepare a brief for the Architect and to work with the Architect in preparing the plans currently being displayed.

These plans will be placed before the full Management Committee for approval at the next meeting of the Committee. The Committee is hoping that construction will have commenced by January 1, 1966, and that the extensions will be completed by the end of 1966.
