Buildings and Facilities

The Belfast Campus consists of four interconnected buildings joined by the Link Bridge across York Street.  The information below details the Floor by Floor facilities on the Belfast Campus to help you find what you need.

Water Fountains

Hydration Stations are located at most stair and lift cores across all Belfast campus buildings. Hydration Stations help reduce the usage of single-use plastic, making it easier and more accessible for students, staff and visitors to refill water bottles.

Lockers

Lockers are available in many locations across the campus. Replacement keys can be ordered direct by the faulty/department from Cut Keys Direct.
