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 Building, development of engineering workshop - Late October 2023 - May 2024

Work on the annex at the Church Lane building to expand the workshop for the Engineering department will begin on Monday 23 October. The work is expected to last around six months. Most of the work is internal and we do not expect it to be particularly disruptive. However, as with all building work, there may be increased noise at times.

Refurbishment work, Ron Cooke Hub - October 2023 to late May 2024

Work to bring together some of the departments of the School of Arts and Creative Technologies (ACT) will start in the Ron Cooke Hub on Monday 23 October 2023. The refurbishment will take place inside the building only; impact on surrounding buildings and services should be minimal. The building (including the cafe and reception area) will, in general, be closed to staff and students. However, some areas will remain open including the Lakehouse, lecture theatre, study decks, toilets and prayer room.

Central car park closures 

Car park 2.4 (Campus Central) is now partially closed.  The nearest alternative car parks are:

The accessible bays near the former Security Centre are now blocked off but the accessible bays near the Spring Lane Building are unaffected. Additional accessible bays have been provided alongside the hoarding. The route to the lift and library remains level and clear.
