The Guild of Students building occupies a site close to the eastern gateway to the Edgbaston Campus.  It dates from 1928 but has been modified and added to over the years.  In the 1960s a west wing was added.  The Pevsner Guide to Birmingham describes it as having an, "... E-plan front with three big gables inspired by midlands manor houses.  Brown brick with red relieving arches and stone dressings.  A chimney out of Nesfield’s Kimmel Park breaks the symmetry.  Central plaque by William Bloye......
