Eddy B has just won a Leeds architecture award
Why would you study anywhere else?
Eddy B holds a special place in our heart. Since it re-opened in 2016 it's been home to many an all-nighter and even a naughty antic or two.
Fit smokers perched on the ledge outside are a guarantee, as are those two girls who just won't shut up about their night before, despite your evil glares.
Now, our favourite slab of concrete has won a Leeds Architecture Award for the Most Outstanding Conserved Building in Leeds.
Eddy B before its transformation
Most of us weren't around during the pre-refurb days, but it was a huge project that took two years and cost over £24million.
The brutalist (read: damn ugly) architecture outside was conserved while the inside had a complete overhaul to bring it into the 21st century.
Eddy B beat the Fine Arts building and The Lost & Found Club on Albion Street to grab the award.
The Edward Boyle Library was last night awarded Most Outstanding Conserved Building at the Leeds Architecture Awards 2019.

However, not everyone is happy. Mike Johansson, a History fourth year, said: "Classic Leeds Uni.
"Care more about winning an architectural award than practical work spaces!!!"
