To all UP staff members working on the Hatfield Campus

Due to the presidential inauguration on Saturday 25 May, a number of street closures will be in effect from 15:00 on Friday 24 May around the Hatfield Campus. For this reason, staff members exiting the Hatfield Campus on Friday afternoon after 14:00 on 24 May should make use of the Prospect Street and Lunnon Street gates. Prospect Street will be opened for this purpose. Both University Road and Roper Street gates will be closed from 14:00 on 24 May.

On Saturday 25 May, staff who are not involved in essential services or academic activities that are time-sensitive are requested to avoid the campus. Staff who have to gain entry to the campus on Saturday may only make use of the Lunnon Street entrance. All other entrances will be closed for the entire Saturday. On Sunday 26 May, normal practices will hold. 

Your cooperation on this matter is highly appreciated.
