ASA BRIGGS
A Starbucks coffee shop has now opened on the ground floor of Asa Briggs Building and Coffee
and sandwiches are available from 8.00am to 4pm Monday to Friday

Students who live at Collingham Gardens or Courtfield Gardens are not included on the meal plan,
but can choose to add money to their university ID and pay per item for meals in the cafeteria.
Please contact Student Affairs if you are interested in adding money to your card.
All students living in University housing receive a SMARTCARD, which records your meal
allowance for each week. This card must be presented every time a meal is purchased from your
meal allowance. No Card, No Meal!! The card can only be used by the student it is issued to. If
your SMARTCARD is lost or stolen, please contact a member of Security on the Kensington or
Richmond campuses. There will be a charge of £20 for an additional card, no matter under what
circumstances the card was lost. Any student found giving food to another person will be fined
and may have their meal card suspended until payment of fine!

alterations to the schedule.
If you want to have your own special dish for dinner all you have to do is send a recipe to the
catering team at huttonc@richmond.ac.uk. They would be more than happy to take your
suggestions on board. In addition, Student Affairs in conjunction with the Student Union plan to
host Food Forums during term time where your feedback and suggestions are.
Holidays and Break Periods
University residences do not close during the Fall or Spring breaks or over the Easter weekend.
We do close over the Winter break between the end of the Fall Semester and the start of the
Spring Semester.
Common Rooms
Some of the University’s residences have their own common rooms. Common rooms are areas
where students can socialise, relax, and watch TV or videos without disturbing the rest of the
residents in the building.
In keeping with UK law, all enclosed areas are strictly NON-SMOKING.
Laundry
All buildings and Satellite residences at the Kensington Campus have laundry facilities. Please do
not overload the washing machines, but also please do not waste water/energy by putting only a
few items in a load. Residents shall allow non-residents to use laundry facilities.
