Library staff will be taking a well deserved break over the bank holiday weekend. We will be back in on Wednesday 3rd April at 9am but library services will still be running, and there are lots of UON teams onsite if you need them.

There are several maps of Waterside campus which you may find helpful. The University has a travel page that details the different arrangements for travel, such as the bus services and how to get to the campus on foot from Northampton town centre. There is also a virtual tour.

An accessibility guide for the campus buildings and rooms is also available.

You can always ask a member of staff for directions, staff can be identified by their black and rainbow ID ribbon (lanyard), and will be happy to give you advice on finding a building or specific room. Travelling around Waterside campus may seem a bit intimidating the first time you do it, but with a little exploration you'll quickly learn your way around.
