Indoor Sports Centre - Boiler replacement works affecting showers

From Monday 19 August we will be undertaking essential maintenance work at the Indoor Sports Centre to replace our ageing boilers. During this period, there will be no showers available, until at least 16 September. 
The new boilers are more energy and water efficient, which will positively contribute to the University's action on the climate emergency.

Student Sport Exercise and Health Registration Information

With the arrival of our new students, there have been a few questions relating to U-Cards and when you'll be able to access your Sport, Exercise & Health account.

  1. Every student needs to collect their U-Card,
  2. Students then need to activate their card by holding it still on a Silver Salto for 10 seconds. More information here: Using your UCard | Card Services | University of Bristol
  3. Access control readers | Card Services | University of Bristol
  4. Your details will then be synced with your Sport, Exercise and Health account after activating your card.
