Founder's Building is home to two venues:

Crosslands

Crosslands is a stylish bar near the main Visitors’ Centre. It’s named after the architect William Henry Crossland, who designed the Founder's Building. In the morning, you can enjoy porridge, cereal, pastries and bacon rolls. Hot drinks are served all day and hot food from lunchtime, including soups, salads, jacket potatoes and sandwiches. In the evening, Crosslands transforms into a fun and relaxed student bar serving pizza, cocktails, soft drinks and draught and bottled drinks. With a pool table, selection of board games and a book swap scheme, there’s plenty to enjoy.
