We try really hard to minimise the level of disruption that may occur when expanding and renewing our campus, but sometimes, for example, we have to close specific areas or divert footpaths to carry out necessary work 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 so you can better plan your journey to, from and around campus.
Vanbrugh Nucleus walkway - bike hoops
Maintenance work will take place at the Vanbrugh Nucleus walkway from Monday 11 May for approximately four weeks. To allow access, please ensure all bikes are removed from the bike hoops in this area by Friday 8 May. Alternative nearby bike storage should be used while the work is ongoing. If you have any questions, please contact transport-team@york.ac.uk.
Excavations around Market Square
As part of our essential works on our electrical infrastructure there will be excavations on the path between Market Square and the Drama Barn between 11 and 15 May. There may be some narrowing of the path and cycleway at times to allow this to be completed.
Servicing of Refuge Alarms
Between 27 April and 15 May Technology Solutions Engineers will be conducting the routine six-monthly servicing of the Refuge Alarm systems across campus. This involves systematically testing all refuge call points, master stations and associated back end technology. Building operations and access will continue as normal, and there will be no downtime to standard security or IT systems.
Berrick Saul refurbishment works and bike store closure
Refurbishment works at Berrick Saul will take place from 2 February to 5 June. During this time, its card-controlled bike store will be closed. Please use the nearest alternative bike store. A contractor compound will also be installed in Central Car Park, reducing parking by four spaces for the duration of the 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
