Disruption to Campuses

UWS campuses are rarely completely closed. However, some unforseen operational issues, planned industrial disputes or extreme local environment, weather conditions may cause us to close a campus.

If bad weather or other events cause major disruption to the running of the university, you’ll find up-to-date information here.

Scottish campuses open tomorrow (Monday 27 January)

Update - 26 January 2025

As we advised earlier this week, our Scottish campuses were closed to colleagues and students on Friday and over the weekend due to Storm Eowyn, and to allow maintenance assessments to be carried out across our estate following the extreme winds.

We can today confirm – as indicated in our previous communications – that our Scottish campuses will be operational as usual tomorrow (Monday 27 January). Campus users are asked to be mindful of any temporary, precautionary signage indicating any areas where maintenance work is ongoing.

Should any colleagues be experiencing any challenges with transport as a result of the impact of the weather, they should liaise directly with their line managers.

Our particular thanks to Estates & Campus Services and other colleagues for their tireless efforts on Friday and over the weekend, under very difficult conditions, to minimise disruption to our campuses. All colleagues are also reminded to be extra vigilant when returning to campus and that they can flag any ongoing issues via estates@uws.ac.uk.
