Safety in the Geoffrey Pope

Access to the Geoffrey Pope building is restricted to authorised members of Biosciences and Natural Sciences students only. To gain entry to the building you will need to use your University card. If you need access outside of normal working hours you will need to request a PIN number as well, but these will only be issued in exceptional circumstances. Students are not normally expected to require out of hours access, but may do so for occasional project work in their final year. Please note that the use of cards in the door entry system is recorded and you must not lend your card to another person. If you do, this will be treated as a serious offence.

Do not eat or drink in any of the Biosciences buildings (except in designated areas). Smoking is prohibited inside or within 5 metres of all buildings.

Any student coming to a class under the influence of drink or drugs will be excluded.

Working hours

The buildings are open from 8 am to 5:30pm. Undergraduates are only allowed to remain in, or enter buildings outside normal working hours when carrying out their final year project work, and only with their supervisor's written permission (see Use of laboratories for final year projects outside "normal working hours” paragraph below).
