As The Press previously reported, the University of York decided in June to end its use of King's Manor, in Exhibition Square in the city centre.
The site was first rented to the university by City of York Council in 1963 and became home to the university's department of archaeology, the centre for medieval studies and the centre for eighteenth century studies.
The university's decision to withdraw from the site has sparked anger, with a PhD student at the university - Constance Halstead - launching a petition to "save King's Manor".
