Winter safety on campus

Posted on 20 November 2023

As the weather gets colder, we aim to make it as safe and easy as possible to travel around campus.

Make sure you stay aware when travelling around campus in difficult weather.

    • Wear appropriate footwear - it is a good idea to wear a pair of sturdy shoes or boots with a good grip for getting around campus during the winter months.
    • Travel on paths that are clear and gritted - there are designated routes which are gritted and cleared of ice and snow, and it is recommended that all campus users keep to these routes wherever possible in wintery weather conditions.

A comprehensive map of these routes can be found on the Grounds Maintenance web page.

Lake safety

You should not under any circumstances attempt to walk or step on our lakes if they freeze over.
