University Residences
Dear University of Surrey,
I see you recently denied expenditure on University accommodation.
Can you provide details that I believe are not subject to restriction.
Recently there has been much social media talk about ‘Guildford Court Hall of Residence’
Please can you tell me:
When this was built ?
How much is an average room in this building per week/month ?
Is there asbestos in this building ?
Who is responsible for the decision of refurbishment etc. ?
Can you confirm the recent social media talk, on the price that is going to be spent on refurbishment this year ? (Statement was £2.6 million)
Yours faithfully,
Rev. N Robert J
