Other Services
Print Room
We liaise with academic staff to produce photocopies of all lecture notes and class manuals, scientific papers, examination papers etc. for staff and students, preparing them as required.
We can organise the binding of documents by either the thermal or spline method.
If you bring work in that is urgent we aim to get it back to you the same day. The only times we cannot promise this is when we are processing exam papers. We do the odd exam paper at the beginning of January each year and April but the main ones are produced between mid May until first week in June.
Also when we are getting ready for the start of term it is very busy and lecture notes and manuals are handled on a first come, first served basis.
Groups can sign out copier paper from us which will be charged to the group.
Please note that we cannot undertake work for undergraduates. If you require copying or binding services, you will need to see your college.
Post Room
Selling of stamps is between 9.00 am - 12.00 pm and 2.00 pm - 4.00 pm only. These are limited to only 4 stamps each day per person. If you need a large amount then you should go to the Post Office.
We frank all the mail for the lab. Each group is charged for their franking.
If people have any PRIVATE post that isn't a letter they will have to, for the time, being take these to the Post Office.
As of 21st August the postal system as changed and we are having to size and weigh everything so work post is our main property at present.
