Princes Margaret opens Southside, Electrical Engineering and Civil Engineering buildings

HRH Princess Margaret opened Southside Halls of Residence on 8th October. This increased student accommodation so that 20% could live in halls, compared to 8% in 1955. 

After she had opened Southside, she visited two other new buildings at South Kensington. In Electrical Engineering, she was given a demonstration of bandwidth compression and in Civil Engineering she viewed a model dam. Listen to Sir Patrick Linstead’s speech from the official opening ceremony of Southside in 1963.
