REF:66-2110-2718819 - Leaving doors open

Your comment: The bedroom doors in Cwrt Mawr are unable to be left ajar due to fire regulations. This is pretty isolating in the absence of a communal area, and may well have a negative effect on residents mental health.

Our response:

Many thanks for raising this issue. The door for your bedroom is a fire door, to ensure you comply with fire regulations this door should not be held open at any time. However, within Cwrt Mawr you have access to your communal kitchen and dining area to be able to socialise with your flatmates. We have also now opened up our study/social spaces across residences – you can access these using your Abercard. The following study/social spaces are open 24/7, Rosser lounge is located under D block Rosser, PJM amenity block is located in the middle of PJM, Y ffald is located under block 2 in Fferm Penglais and Y Sgubor cafe is open until 10pm every evening. Although you live in Cwrt Mawr, you have access into all of these spaces. If you would like to discuss this further please email us at accommodation@aber.ac.uk.
