What security arrangements are in place in halls?
All paths and walkways on hall sites are well lit and all hall buildings have at least two levels of door security, with most outer doors fitted with coded keypads or card entry systems. The corridors are fitted with key-operated night latches, which lock automatically as the door closes, and all individual study bedrooms are fitted with key-operated roller bolts. All halls of residence have a fire alarm system. All study bedrooms and all communal areas are fitted with ‘sounders’ or smoke alarms, and each corridor has fire extinguishers or fire hoses with a fire blanket. A powder-filled fire extinguisher and fire blanket is fitted in all kitchens.
