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.

Partial closure of The Pathway at Campus East

As part of the ongoing INTERIORS project, the Pathway at Campus East will be partially closed between Baird Lane and Freboys Lane between 29 April and 13 May for drainage works. Half the Pathway will be closed at a time to maintenance level access and access for emergency vehicles.  

Derwent Window Upgrades

Throughout April and May 2025 there will be some noise disruption around Derwent and Spring Lane Building due to window upgrades.  The noisiest part of the work is anticipated to be completed by Friday 2 May.

Campus East tactile paving installation

Between 22 April and 1 May 2025 we will be installing tactile paving on the footpaths at Campus East to increase accessibility.  There will be some noise disruption and diversions in place during this work.

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 are being carried out from 3 April 2025. The work is necessary to expose and repair damaged district heating services. Unfortunately there will be noise and vibration periodically, and evening and weekend work will be required.

York Science Park space reconfiguration

As part of our programme to improve spaces for Professional Services, internal building work will take place at Enterprise House on York Science Park for around two months from 7 April 2025.  There will be the loss of some car parking spaces, which affects York Science Park permit holders.

2025 Post Offer Visit Days, parking may be affected on these dates

Our upcoming undergraduate 2025 Post Offer Visit Days are on the following dates:

  • Saturday 26 April
  • Saturday 10 May

Parking will be on campus in lieu of Grimston Bar park and ride.

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
