Three student support services are moving locations over the next few weeks, as part of our long-term Estates Masterplan

During the moves, the teams will continue to be available virtually or from temporary locations - full details are below.

  • Res Life and ASDAC will be joining other University support services in University House, Winston Churchill Ave, Southsea, Portsmouth PO1 2UP. Res Life will be on the ground floor, and ASDAC will be on the first floor (accessible by the lift and staircase).
  • The Student Wellbeing Service will be staying in The Bateson Centre, The Mary Rose St, Portsmouth, PO1 2BL - but moving down to the ground and first floors.

The moves take place ahead of the development of a new Student Hub and the refurbishment of Wiltshire Building, which will bring together all support services in a centralised place and provide a better student experience.
