We have updated the way you submit special requests!

The new online form can be found Here and can also be found on the VLE  Here

We have made this change to modernise the process and help us accommodate requests more quickly.

The Facilities Team’s core principles are to provide a productive and safe environment that enables everyone to succeed in their academic and creative goals. As such we aim to accommodate requests where possible.

For those less familiar with the Special Request process, it is in place for students to be able to book resources out of normal booking rules or availability. This may be related to equipment, rooms, software etc. and are usually related to events or 3rd year projects. Common examples include:

·        Needing studio access beyond their allowance due to artist/actor constraints.

·        Extended opening hours for a project or event.

·        Taking equipment offsite that normally wouldn’t be allowed.

·        Student Lounge booking for an event.

Requests are only typically denied where it is not reasonably practicable due to safety, resource availability, cost, or time constraints. Or where a request can be addressed through normal processes – such as the booking system.

Special Requests should be made at least 7 days in advance of the requirement, this is so the Facilities Team can review and make arrangements to accommodate the request efficiently. Special requests made with less than 7 days notice are less likely to be approved so please submit with as much notice as you can.
