Robin Gandy Kitchen Refurbishments

We will be undertaking refurbishments of the kitchens in the Robin Gandy buildings during the latter stages of MT as per the schedule below. Students affected by the lack of kitchen facilities for the 5 day period whilst works take place in their flat will receive credits for meals in Hall at both lunch and dinner times – all they need do is give their name to the meal checker.

College Heating:

  • Information on changing the heating level in your room can be found here.  In addition, if fresh air is required in your room the same video guide will demonstrate how to use the trickle vents.
  • There are a few tips that we would encourage residents to try prior to adjusting the radiator valve in their room:
  • Add some extra layers of clothing
