A round-up of the services and facilities open to students on campus.
In the context of the UK Government’s roadmap to ease lockdown restrictions, university buildings are open and many facilities are available for students who need to be on campus. This includes study spaces, library services and limited catering outlets.
We’re working hard to keep everyone on campus as safe as possible. We’ve reduced the number of people on site to 25% of capacity, we’re regularly cleaning our buildings with antiviral disinfectant, and hand sanitiser is available at stations across campus.
Find out more about UCL's response to the Government's plans to ease lockdown.
