YUSU President Kallum Taylor has revealed a number of small improvements which will be implemented to improve the campus at the University of York, which he has labelled as “small moves towards a better campus.”
The most prominent is an increase in the amount of cycle storage, particularly at Market Square. Two tier cycle racks are set to be installed, which will help to solve the current lack of cycle storage space.
In the library the number of lockers is set to be increased up to 41, of which 17 will be found in study rooms, whilst a new and more efficient system is set to be implemented, where students will simply insert coins into the locker rather than having to go to the help desk.
In addition to this a number of new benches are set to be installed, both at bus stops around campus, and on the road leading to Heslington East.
Finally full length mirrors will be introduced into disabled toilets, to cater for the needs of all students, in a move which will be funded by the University.
Taylor told Vision: “The recent improvements aren’t revolutionary but they’re what students have been asking for, and they’ll help make the campus a little more comfortable. Through the Campus Services meeting, we’ll continue bringing in small moves towards a better campus.”
Odd news story, simply because it’s been written with a hint of bias towards Mr Taylor and his schemes. Positive though they might be, do write the facts down, rather than tell us that they are ‘more efficient’ and ‘small improvements which will implemented to improve’… So much ‘improvement’…
Small improvements to the campus, but, quietly, a huge mess made within the colleges (unrelated).
Do continue Ian…
I don’t think it would take much for one of the esteemed investigative journalists from this paper to work out what is meant.
Do continue Ian..
A good start might be to look at a recent announcement regarding a new staffing model for the Colleges
I think this is good news and will indeed improve the campus
