Getting Access (Space + Facilities)

Your University staff card provides access to ABP buildings, including all external doors, staff spaces, classrooms and computer labs. Your staff card is also your on-campus identification. Carry it with you at all times. Do not let anyone else use your staff card.

See the Staff Services Portal for information on how to obtain and update your staff card and how to get a replacement staff card.

Further information including details around building opening hours can be found under Building access and information on the ABP Staff Intranet.
