Secure campus/residential parking with accessible bays, permit control, and 24/7 CCTV at Athena Hall.
Athena Hall Car Park is a dedicated facility for students, staff, and visitors of the Athena Hall residence and University of Suffolk campus, located off Ballast Wharf Walk in Ipswich. The lot offers 120 sealed asphalt bays, including eight accessible spaces positioned adjacent to the pedestrian entrance ramp leading into the student residences. Access is restricted via permit holders only; visitors must register with campus security to obtain a temporary pass. High-lumen LED floodlights illuminate all aisles from dusk until dawn, and four CCTV cameras monitor entrances, exits, and accessible bays for security. Covered bicycle racks with capacity for 20 cycles are located near the entrance to promote sustainable transport. Covered information boards display campus event schedules, student services information, and local bus timetables for services to Ipswich town centre. Monthly maintenance includes line repainting, pothole repairs, and litter clearance to maintain a professional campus environment. Pedestrian pathways link directly to Athena Halls main lobby and university academic buildings within a two-minute walk.
