Please note: there will be a rolling programme of kitchen refurbishments taking place throughout the academic year, therefore noise disturbance should be expected. Building works are also ongoing to an adjacent academic building and will continue throughout the academic year. If you are noise sensitive, please consider this when choosing your accommodation.
