Building developments

Major improvements to campus have taken place in the past year, all of which incorporate accessible design as well as improving the look and feel of the environment. The new Hall of Residence, All Saints Court, offers accessible en suite rooms and adapted kitchens. The new Reception area has improved the access from the main entrance and to the Chapel. The refurbished Dining Room offers an accessible coffee lounge with wireless internet access.

Platform lifts have been updated so most areas are now accessible to wheelchair users, and more automatic doors have been installed.
