Elmwood Hall QUB

The Tudor Gothic facade of Elmwood Hall is defined by its sharp, vertical stonework and the tall, traceried windows that dominate the street front. Built in eighteen sixty-two as a Presbyterian meeting house, the structure eventually became the intellectual heart of the university across the street. Its most famous transformation occurred when the interior was repurposed for academic exams. Students sat in silence under the hammerbeam roof for generations, while outside, the city of Belfast shifted through decades of intense social and political upheaval.
