The following message was circulated to students via email on Monday 14 November. 

Following reports of a gas leak earlier today, Monday 13 November, in the Walsall area the University took the precautionary measure of closing our Walsall Campus to staff and students following advice from Cadent Gas while investigations were conducted to ensure there were no safety issues on our campus.

We can confirm that no gas leak has been found and the campus is cleared to open as normal tomorrow, Tuesday 14 November. All students who live on campus can return and access their accommodation this afternoon as normal.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused but the safety and welfare of our staff and students is of paramount importance, and we had to respond quickly to the reports we were receiving. 

Best wishes,

David Reeve
Chief Financial Officer
