Controversies

In early 2008 the building was at the centre of controversy regarding access by students to members of the academic staff accommodated within due to its swipe card policy. This system required taught students to either email their relevant tutor before meeting them, call them internally once at the building, or book an appointment online. [2] In May 2008 the two schools in the building separately revised their access policies to ease access. [3]
