DELAYS TO BUILDING WORK
Due to building work being delayed at the new campus at Craighall, a number of measures have been put in place to minimise disruption to classes and lectures. Teaching will take place at the old campuses at Corstorphine, Leith and Gateway for up to 3 weeks, before everyone is brought over to the new campus by the end of October.
The Students' Union will not be ready for completion until the end of October. In the meantime, a temporary marquee will be onsite complete with a cafe/bar and helpdesk. This is next to the bus turning circle opposite the real SU!
If you have any problems or complaints with regards these disruptions, please forward to:
James Wilkinson, Student President - studentpresident@qmu.ac.uk
John Baxter, Student Vice President - vicepresident@qmu.ac.uk
Please check the QMU homepage and follow the links for any updates:
