Vice-Chancellor Sasha Roseneil was joined by Kate O'Riordan, Michael Luck, Emma Potts, Matt Kitson, and Allan Spencer for a tour of the West Slope construction site to see the progress being made. They are pictured alongside Balfour Beatty project managers, standing in what will be Nyewood House.

Have you used the new reverse vending machines on campus? Find out more about how these machines can help get us into the habit of recycling, as well as where they are located and how to use them.

You can even win a week's free lunches for recycling using the new machines. See how to enter the fortnightly prize draw.

We can now recycle more items than ever using mixed recycling bins. Next time you make a cup of tea on campus, look out for new food waste caddies too – these are being rolled out to suitable office kitchens.

You may have seen small orange flags popping up around campus lately. These areas are home to rare orchids and are being protected so they can grow without any interference.

If you spot any orchids without a flag, please email the Service Centre with the location (and ideally a photo) so they can flag the area as an orchid site. Find out more.
