Album cover - Info centre
Our Info Centre can help with all the weird, whacky and one-off rando questions you might have about campus life, where to find stuff and even what to do if you leave your only clean lab coat on the tram! The Info Centre can also help with all manner of other services, including lost property and lab coat, table, picnic rug and eski hire. If there's something we can't help with, we'll be more than happy to point you in the right direction!
