Residence Managers
All our halls are staffed 24/7 and have a Residence Manager and/ or an Accommodation Manager, who manages the team in each hall. Your Residence Manager and / or Accommodation Manager is responsible for the day-to-day management of the building and ensuring tenancy agreements are managed correctly. They also deal with any welfare issues or queries that you may have; no issue is too big or too small. You are provided with your Residence Manager’s details on arrival in halls and can contact them directly, by phone, email or by arranging an in-person meeting to discuss any queries or concerns.
Out of hours team
You are given the 24-hour contact number when you arrive in halls, which you can use to contact security and reception staff on site, if you have any immediate welfare concerns or wish to report antisocial behaviour. You can also report concerns directly to your hall reception desk.
There is also a dedicated 24-hour UAL management team, who oversee all the sites. They look after students in the evenings, overnight and on weekends. The management team can be called by site staff to attend halls if required and support you with any concerns.
Social programme
UAL offer an extensive Social Programme, open to all students staying in UAL halls of residences. The team run a mixture of online and in person weekly events including virtual exercise classes, free food Sunday’s and film nights. You can also take part in many low cost events, including day trips in the UK, theatre visits, art gallery visits and other events across London.
