Campus disruption notices

We work hard to minimise disruption when expanding and renewing our campus. However, some works may require us to close areas or divert footpaths so they can be carried out safely and as quickly as possible.

See planned disruptive works on this page, or check our Estates Service Status page for unplanned disruptions or those that affect movement in the short term.

Keep up to date with current works to help you plan your journey to, from and around campus.

Yorkshire Marathon car park closures

Due to the Yorkshire Marathon on campus between Thursday 15 October and Monday 19 October, there will be a number of car park closures and restricted parking between these dates, along with limited access. Car parks at the Stables and Alcuin will remain open to staff and students over the weekend, and Campus East parking will not be affected. View the full details of car park closures.

Road closures on and around campus will also be in place on Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 October. View the full details of road closures.

Localised power outages

As part of our rolling five year programme of statutory fixed wiring inspections and tests, we will be undertaking works to the electrical systems in the following areas:

  • Church Lane, 17 September to 15 October
  • TFTI, 19 October to 19 November
  • Music Research Centre, 23 November to 26 November
  • Sir Jack Lyons hall, 30 November to 8 December

Full, brief power outages will occur before 9am for around 15 minutes, with localised outages to lighting and fixed equipment during the day.  

Closure of Providence House car park

From 28 July 2026 to autumn 2026 the car park outside Providence House will be closed for the refurbishment of the building. Other car parks in the surrounding area remain open as usual.

Closure of parking bays in Campus North Car Park

From 1 June to autumn 2026, approximately 12 parking bays and part of the adjacent pathway will be unavailable in Campus North car park due to works to improve the Library entrance.  There will be a level access diversion around this compound.

Closure of Library entrance

Between June and October 2026 the main entrance to the Library will be closed as the entrance and foyer is upgraded. Signed diversions will be in place and there will be some noise disruption as we carry out these works.

Kimberlow Lane closure

Kimberlow Lane, the road running between Campus East Bus Interchange and York Sport Village, is temporarily closed to allow for essential repair works to be carried out. Buses U1 and U2 will continue to run to the Sport Village via a diversion along Hull Road. Access to the following will remain in place:

  • Constantine/Langwith service road
  • ISA building
  • The Energy Centre
  • Kimberlow Lane car park
