Home>Investing in our campus>Disruption notices

We try really hard to minimise the level of disruption that may occur when expanding and renewing our campus, but sometimes, for example, we have to close specific areas or divert footpaths to carry out necessary work safely, and as quickly as possible.  

Keep up to date with current works so you can better plan your journey to, from and around campus.

Church Lane EV bays temporary closure

The Electric Vehicle charging bays in the Church Lane car park will be closed for essential maintenance all day on 7 April and 16 April.

Campus West building inspections 

From March 2025 through spring, planned external building inspections will take place on Campus West. Inspections are carried out from ground level using binoculars and cameras. If you see a building being surveyed there is no cause for concern.

Church Lane Solar Panel works 

Work to install solar panels on the Church Lane building are taking place in early 2025. There will be scaffolding in the area, but access will be maintained.

Spring Lane Building - excavation work 

Excavation work outside Spring Lane building will be carried out from 3 April 2025 for approximately 2 weeks between the hours of 8am and 5pm. The work is necessary to expose and repair damaged district heating services. Unfortunately there will be noise and vibration periodically.

We apologise for any inconvenience.

Lift closure - Derwent L 

From Monday 6 January until the end of March 2025 the lift in Derwent L corridor (opposite Courtyard bar) will be closed for essential work. This work will replace the lift, improving its reliability for those that use it in the future. 

Noise during construction for INTERIORS project

The piling works have now been completed, but there will continue to be some building noise from December 2024 to Summer 2025 as the work progresses. Our contractor will try to minimise this as much as possible.

Kimberlow Lane closure

Kimberlow Lane, the road running between Campus East Bus Interchange and York Sport Village, is temporarily closed to allow for essential repair works to be carried out. Buses U1 and U2 will continue to run to the Sport Village via a diversion along Hull Road. Access to the following will remain in place: 

  • Constantine/Langwith service road
  • ISA building
  • The Energy Centre 
  • Kimberlow Lane car park
