During the 2025/26 academic year we are planning to carry out building works, including the external facade of this property, between 8am and 6pm Monday to Friday. You will hear noise disruption during working hours, and experience some reduced light to your room at times. We will communicate notice of these works ahead of them starting and update you through the process. We'll also hold face to face drop-in sessions for students throughout the year.
