Storm Eunice: Campus Update

From Lucy Foley | Director of Student Services 

Thank you for your cooperation today following the closure of our campuses due to the impact of Storm Eunice. I hope that you have all managed to stay safe.  While an Amber warning remains in place until 9pm, the Met Office’s ‘Red’ warning for the South East has now passed and at this stage the impact on our campuses has been largely contained. 

With the forecast improving, our intention is that our Canterbury and Medway campuses will be open as normal from tomorrow. The Drill Hall Library is due to reopen at 09.00 on Sunday, with the Templeman Library re-opening at 08:00 tomorrow and any other planned activity over the weekend will continue as scheduled. 

Travel and catering this evening 

A number of our outlets are running a reduced service, so please check Kent Union’s website and our Catering pages for latest updates. All meals this evening for those on catered contracts will be provided as planned. 

Please do continue to take care and limit any unnecessary travel into this evening while the storm continues to pass through. Transport across the county remains disrupted, with the Campus Shuttle suspended for the rest of today. Please check @CampusShuttle for updates tomorrow and plan your journey before your travel. 

Thank you once again for your patience today and, for those of you who do need to travel this evening, I hope you have a smooth and safe journey.  

Lucy
