Car Parking

The Institute has parking for approximately 680 cars. This

has proved to be ample capacity for the needs of the
part-time programme over recent years.

Parking is not permitted in areas other than designated

parking spaces to ensure that access is available at all
times for emergency vehicles. Cars parked outside
designated areas and parking in spaces set aside for the
disabled without a permit, are liable to be clamped.

There are a number of public car parks with walking

distance of the Institute.

Evacuation Procedure

Throughout the building, there are floor plans in red

coloured frames headed Emergency Escape Route.
These show the emergency escape routes from all parts
of the building, to the outside.

(A, B, C or D).
