Home>Investing in our campus>Campus 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 EV Charging Points

The electric vehicle charging points in the Church Lane Building Car Park will be out of service all day on Friday 30 May due to essential maintenance.

Vanbrugh College Nucleus lift maintenance

From 12 August to 15 October 2025, the lift in Vanbrugh College Nucleus will be out of service due to essential maintenance work. We kindly ask that you make alternative arrangements during this period. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

Works in Church Lane Building block B

The Estates Operations team are conducting some essential maintenance work between May and July 2025 in Church Lane Engineering Workshop, in block B. There will be some noise throughout, with the most disruption over the weekend of 23 to 25 May.  

Partial closure of The Pathway at Campus East

As part of the ongoing INTERIORS project, the Pathway at Campus East will be partially closed between Baird Lane and Freboys Lane in May 2025 for drainage works. Half the Pathway will be closed at a time to maintenance level access and access for emergency vehicles.  

Piazza internal construction for School of Architecture

From 6 May 2025 to September 2025 there will be some internal disruption in the Piazza as the space is reconfigured for the School of Architecture. Some areas will not be accessible and there will be some noise disruption while construction takes place. From 19 May onwards, it will not be possible to access the Piazza Mailroom through the building from Reception.  The Mailroom remains open and can be accessed through the external doors on the north side of the building.

Campus West building inspections 

From March 2025 through spring, planned external building inspections will take place on Campus West. Inspections are carried out from ground level using binoculars and cameras. If you see a building being surveyed, there is no cause for concern.

York Science Park space reconfiguration

As part of our programme to improve spaces for Professional Services, internal building work will take place at Enterprise House on York Science Park for around two months from 7 April 2025. There will be the loss of some car parking spaces, which affects York Science Park permit holders.

Noise during construction for INTERIORS project

The piling works have now been completed, but there will continue to be some building noise from December 2024 to Summer 2025 as the work progresses. Our contractor will try to minimise this as much as possible.

Kimberlow Lane closure
