Alternative staff travel and parking for the upcoming Open Days
On Friday 28 and Saturday 29 June the University will host its first set of Open Days for 2019.
There will be a significant amount of traffic on campus during these days and to enable prospective students to have a positive experience, the University is asking staff members to consider alternative travel and parking, particularly on Friday 28 June.
Sustainable ways of getting to work
There are a number of great ways to get to campus without bringing your car. Why not try cycling, walking (or running!), or catching the Kinch Bus, which is free of charge between 7.30am and 6pm along the whole route. The buses are likely to be busier than usual on these days.
If you choose a sustainable way to get to work, snap a picture and tweet us @SustainLboro using the hashtag #LboroOpenDay - the team would love to see them!
Car sharing
If you do need to use your car to get to work, please consider car sharing with colleagues that live nearby to reduce the number of vehicles parking on campus.
In addition, we ask staff to use the following car parks adjacent to the University campus which will be dedicated for staff parking.
- Harry French Car Parks (both sides) - LE11 3UN
- The Holt Car Parks - LE11 3JB
- William Morris Car Park (Garendon Road entrance) - LE11 4QP
Free breakfast rolls
As a thank you for choosing a sustainable option of travel you can claim a free breakfast roll (including vegetarian options). There will be a student ambassador stationed at the entrance to the above car parks who will be able to give you (and any car sharing occupants) your voucher/s.
If you travel to work without using your car you can collect your voucher from the Hazlerigg Building reception (from 8.30am) or a member of Team Loughborough staff located on the corner of the road by West Park Teaching Hub.
The vouchers can be redeemed at either James France, Village Bar or EHB Bar until 11.30am on Friday 28 and Saturday 29 June or at the EHB Bar between Monday 1 and Friday 5 July 2019.
Thank you in advance for supporting the Open Days.
