Free academic parking for Pilkington Library users
Serving staff and visitors of the Pilkington Library, this tarmac car park offers 80 spaces, including four disabled bays near the main entrance. Entry is unrestricted during library hours (8am–10pm daily); parking is free of charge, but signage advises a maximum stay of 4 hours to prioritise academic users. LED floodlights provide illumination during evening study sessions, and CCTV cameras monitor the lot. A pedestrian walkway links the car park directly to the library entrance within a one-minute walk. Electric vehicle charging stations (two bays) are located near the library side door. Grounds maintenance includes weekly sweeping and quarterly line repainting.
