Central Hall (colloquially known as "The Spaceship" for the similar appearance to a UFO)[1] is a building of the University of York, England, designed by John Speight in the brutalist style.
Nearly 300 people rushed forwards and danced on the orchestra pit cover, causing over £1,000 worth of damage.
[10] As with the rest of the first phase of buildings at the university, the Hall directly integrates with the surrounding nature, allowing the appearance of a country park to continue undisrupted.
[11] Most of the buildings of this phases notably used the CLASP (Consortium of Local Authorities Special Programme) system, but the size of the Hall saw it constructed out of a reinforced concrete.
[14] It is in a prominent position in the university's West Campus, on the bank of the middle of the lake.
To the north is the Berrick Saul Building while the Exhibition Centre can be accessed using the Central Hall Bridge that crosses the lake.
