Disruption notices
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.
Keep up to date with current works so you can better plan your journey to, from and around campus.
Church Lane Car Park - temporary closure
The Church Lane Building car park will be closed on Friday 13 September to Sunday 15 September to help facilitate new student arrivals. The car park will reopen on Monday 16 September. Please ensure your vehicle is out of the car park by 6pm on Thursday 12 September. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
