Is everything working?

Stay current on the status of key services and facilities at York, request repairs and stay informed about campus disruptions.

Log a repair, ask for something to be moved or check building maintenance requests.
Find out about any disruptions caused by building work on campus, so you can better plan your journey.
Check for any service issues or planned maintenance works related to IT, estates and the Library.
Staff celebrate after completing our charity walking challenge, the Great York Walk, which takes place in May every year and raises thousands of pounds for mental health projects.
