Keeping you safe We introduced lots of signage around the halls to ensure that we are all following social distancing.
Keeping you safe We ordered thousands of PPE to keep students safe including touch free hand sanitiser stations, new pedal bins, gloves, wipes, refillable hand sanitiser bottles. All students and staff were encouraged to wear face coverings in all our communal areas.
Keeping you safe We helped students by providing information about local take aways, online supermarkets, and provided a catering service with UAL caterer’s BaxterStorey.
Keeping you safe We introduced food deliveries with UAL caterer’s BaxterStorey. We also worked with Uni Kit Out so students could order essential items to their room.
