Update: Revolving door closure 16 December 2015
The revolving doors at West side of the main campus building leading to the previous [EN]GAGE entrance, will be closed due to continuing work on the Sighthill gym extension.

Update: Entrance and reception change 25 November 2015

Over the next month the build will comprise of formation of foundations, erecting the steel frame and internal reconfiguration works to existing [EN]GAGE reception.

We are carefully planning works to minimise disruption and we will specifically ensure there is zero impact during exam times.
