Product Information

Bus services towards Northfield Lane will be suspended during the closure. The nearest alternative Bus Stops are North South Road and Hastings. Normal service will resume when the road reopens. Colleagues based onfloor 4are still able to work as usual, as are those in the Northern section of the building on the first and second floors (Student Services and Housing). All other colleagues have been temporarily relocated to other buildings on campus, or are working remotely. This means that to access Northfield and Lewes Court, drivers now need to use East Slope Road. Limited vehicle access to Refectory Road is in place, to manage traffic in this busy area. Signage will be present to indicate these road changes.
