The opening and access times of our buildings can vary during the summer and winter break. Please check back to this page to view the opening times for buildings and food outlets on our Talbot and Lansdowne campuses throughout the year.
Please remember that all students and staff are required to have their ID cards with them when attending campus. These cards are necessary to gain access to many of our campus buildings.
For help finding a building, our Talbot and Lansdowne Campus maps and address list will be able to assist you. We also share information about room numbers and getting around campus, which you may find useful.
If you have a question about building access on campus or how to book a room, please contact the Estates Service Desk on option 2, where a member of the team will be able to help.
