History

Concrete was set up in 1992 by three students and has since celebrated its 250th issue in January 2011. Concrete's achievements were recognised in 1995 by The Guardian newspaper and the National Union of Students and shortlisted by both in the 'Student Newspaper of the Year' category. By the time of Concrete's fiftieth issue, it was being read by 98% of students at UEA. Concrete has been one of the largest student societies at UEA for a number of years, and its office is located upstairs in the Union House building at the University.
