Harris Manchester College Website

Overview: Dedicated solely for mature students, Harris Manchester College is centrally located in quiet Mansfield Road, a few minutes away from the city centre, the Bodleian Library, most faculty libraries, the Science Area, and other University facilities. Prospective applicants should contact the Academic Administrator (01865 271009) to discuss their requirements.

College Sites: Most of the College's facilities are in the main building, which is +3, +1 stairs with handrails from Mansfield Road, and through double doors 760mm. The Porters' Lodge is to the right inside of the main entrance; it also contains the pigeonholes. The Junior Common Room and bar are also to the right of the main entrance across a stone floor. The library is +13, +12, +5 stairs with handrails right and left, from the Junior Common Room and has two double doors. The Hall is accessed from the Quad and is +7 stairs (no handrails). Entry is through a set of double doors. In the Hall there are movable chairs. The chapel is fitted with a permanent induction loop and a portable one is available if needed.

From the Mansfield Road gate there is flat access to the College gardens, but each door from here into the main building is at least +3 stairs, although a portable ramp can be put in place. There is flat access into the laundry room but it is -2 stairs through the door opposite to the building that contains the computer room, which is up 17 narrow, winding steps. Although there are no allocated disabled spaces available for students, it is possible that one could be made available. There is a public reserved disabled space in Jowett Walk, 50 yards away.

Accommodation: All college accommodation is located on the main site, and students who wish to live on site for the duration of their studies can usually do so. There is a mix of 16th and 17th century houses, and some new accommodation. All rooms have telephone lines, and wired for the internet.

A new accommodation block has been built and has ramped access from Mansfield Road through a gate to which all students have the code. This building has four ground floor bedrooms. It is about 50m over smooth paved surface from the Holywell Street gate to the ramped entrance to this new building.

Catering: College charges include meals, and care is taken to cater for specific dietary requirements. All meals are taken in a baronial-style dining hall.
