Refurbishment works

During the 2025-26 academic year, essential internal maintenance repairs across the seven buildings which make up Loring Hall are due to take place.

The main works within each flat should take around 2–3 weeks, during which, some noise and disruption are to be expected.

Our priority is to minimise any disruption or inconvenience to students, and we will ensure residents are kept regularly updated as more information becomes available.
