Below is some practical information about how things work that may be helpful for students who spend some part of their study time in any of the VHC’s buildings.
The entire entrance level inside the main entrance to the VHC is open to students. Opening hours are Monday - Friday 7.30 am to 5.30 pm. Outside these times you can also use your access card to enter other parts of the buildings, depending on which course you are studying at the time.
