Our Queen Margaret Union has been making noise since 1890! Established to provide a social space for female students, the QMU's first home was in the basement of Queen Margaret College ♀️ The union provided a space for female students to relax and get involved in running the union for 90 years, before opening to all students in 1979. The QMU has had many homes over the years, moving from a basement on Queen Margaret Drive to different houses including Number 1 University Gardens and in 1935 the MacIntyre building. In 1969 Queen Margaret Union made its final move to the then newly constructed 22 University Gardens. Today the #QMU is home to student bars, a games room, a restaurant and even a photo booth 📸 The union is also an iconic music venue, welcoming acts like Queen, Nirvana and Charlie XCX 🎸🎤 🎶 #studentlife #uni #uofglasgow #livemusic
