University staff enjoyed the hospitality of The Rose Bowl last night, as the iconic building hosted its first dinner.

The event provided an opportunity for guests drawn from all areas of Leeds Met to see the £50 million building at first hand.

Catering staff also had the chance to test their skills in serving a throng of assembled guests prior to the building's official launch event later this year.

The Rose Bowl will be new home of Leeds Business School from summer 2009.

It will provide a state-of-the-art learning environment inside a five storey signature glass building consisting of offices, teaching areas, lecture theatres and a cafe.
