On arrival Upon arrival all visitors and contractors must sign in at the Porters’ Lodge using the College`s computerized Facilities Management System. They will then be issued with passes and any keys they require. To facilitate this all visitors and contractors should provide their details (and those of anyone else who requires access) to their College point-of-contact (POC) before arriving on site so they can be assigned a QR code. A College induction must also be completed, and this will remain valid for a period of 12 months whereupon a new induction will need completing.
Parking Unless agreed beforehand, there are no provisions for visitors and contractors to park within the College grounds, except in the case of an emergency callout, or where the work involves the use of equipment fixed/located in the vehicle (such as compressors and drain jetting etc.). The storage of tools does not constitute an exception. Heavy tools and materials may be dropped off prior to the induction before parking off-site. If parking is agreed, the vehicle registration should be provided to the College point-of-contact prior to arrival on site. Persons are not allowed to sit in any vehicle with the engine idling, must park sensibly, and refrain from parking immediately in front of the Provost’s Lodge.
Access Visitors and contractors must not enter any part of the College other than those in which they have been granted access.
