COVID-19
Coronavirus updates – for Catering and Retail customers
From Thursday 19th March 2020, I’m afraid the University campus is closed to external visitors. There will only be access for essential staff and resident students. These restrictions are in place for at least 2 weeks, however, the University is continuing to monitor closely and follow healthcare and government advice from Health Protection Scotland.
Catering services will be available within Maggie's (in the Students' Union). We have also setup a pop-up shop in Maggie's for residents on campus. This will stock essential provisions and will be open 7 days a week. 1875, the University shop and Starbucks are closed.
Maggie's and the pop-up shop will be open as follows:
Monday-Friday 8.30am - 6pm
Saturday & Sunday 10am - 5pm
We also have a dedicated page on the main QMU website with FAQ’s which are continually being updated: https://www.qmu.ac.uk/coronavirus/
