Loughborough University of Technology Students Union

In 1965, Loughborough College of Technology formed its own Students Union (LUTSU) as it would be obliged to do so by the charter granting it university status as Loughborough University of Technology (which happened in 1966), formally separating from the other colleges (Loughborough Training College (later Loughborough College of Education), Loughborough College of Art (later LCAD), Loughborough College of Further Education (later Loughborough Technical College, now Loughborough College)). LUTSU had been in effect operating within or as ULC due to the split of Loughborough College into four entities. However, in 1969, negotiations started between LUTSU and ULC to build a joint social centre. The amalgamation between the two was completed in the academic year 1974-1975, and the new body took on the name of Loughborough Students Union (LSU).
