Building access

For building access, email and CC in supervisor. Email your request to victoria.stafford@manchester.ac.uk

Out of hours:

Monday to Friday 8.00 a.m. until 6.00 p.m. all the doors should open on approach.

Outside these hours, one pair of the inner and outer doors is locked, with a key, by House Services. This is because these doors have no magnetic lock fitted and would be a security risk through allowing intruder access.

The other pair of double doors (one inner set, one outer set) are secured by magnetic locks. When the emergency alarm activates, the magnetic locks disengage, but the doors do not automatically open when approached.
However, if these doors are physically pushed, they will open, so long as the magnetic lock has disengaged (i.e., the alarm is sounding).
