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.
Excavation Works on Vanbrugh Way
Yorkshire Water will be working on a new mains cold water connection where Vanbrugh Way connects to University Road from Monday 20 to Friday 24 April. There will be a three-way traffic management system and some bays will be temporarily removed in car park 2.2. The first entrance to car park 2.3 at the Information Centre will also be closed, but access is possible from the second entrance.

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.
