After the fire in Pennington Hall, the Tuck Shop was re-located into space used by the apparel shop in the Industrial Services building,(ID). It now seems that there was more to the recent library closing, in the Henry Esson Young building, (HEY) than what it seems.

The library is going to be turned into a Tuck Shop, social centre for the residents, moving from the Industrial Services building,(ID), where it has been since the fire in Pennington Hall, which seems to be totally written off by the powers that be, with no attempt at restoration.
