Welcome to The Open University, as well as supporting OU colleagues we also welcome external tenants who lease several of our buildings at Walton Hall Campus. We have gathered the following information to help support our external tenants.
The Estates Team
Our Estates Team will assume responsibility for general maintenance repairs including heating, lighting, trip hazards and defective furniture items. These can be reported to Liaison Line on either 01908 653286 or [email protected].

Berrill reception is open from 08:00 to 17:00 Monday to Friday.
