Sussex Estates and Facilities operates a 24-hour a day, 365 days a year Security service for the University. Our aim is to ensure that a secure environment is created for all students, staff and people visiting or using the campus and for their personal property. In addition, every effort is made to maintain the security of the buildings and equipment owned or used by the University.
Maintaining a safe and secure environment
We maintain a 24/7, 365 days a year presence with a staffed reception, patrols and monitoring of technical equipment designed to ensure safety and security on campus. The Security Centre is equipped 24/7 to respond to emergency situationsm and includes CCTV and other crime prevention equipment. All Security Officers are trained in first aid.
We provide escorts for emergency vehicles on campus, monitor lone-worker procedures as needed, and can provide an after-dark security escort for lone persons, both on campus and to and from Falmer station.
Please note that the escort provision is to support campus users with feeling safe out-of-hours, and may be on foot. The escort service is not available to support with moving luggage or other items.
The Security team also assists with maintaining traffic flow and car park safety on campus. For more information on handling traffic on campus, visit the Transport pages.
Lost property
Lost property from all buildings on campus will be moved to the Security Control Room, where it will be retained for a period of time in a locked cabinet until claimed. Residential lost property may be retained in your local porter's office for up to 4 hours before being handed to Security.
Perishables such as food and drink, and any items of clothing will not be held at Lost Property.
If the apparent owner of any lost property can be identified, they will be e-mailed to reclaim their property. Lost property is retained for three months only after being handed to the Security Centre. Any unclaimed property after this time will be disposed of.
Assistance out of hours
The Security Control Room is open and occupied 24 hours a day, and is the main point of contact on campus for students, staff, and visitors outside of normal working hours. The Control Room can be contacted in person or by telephone, and will either provide appropriate Security advice there and then, or arrange for a Security officer to visit personally and respond to any enquiries.
From 6pm to 8am, calls to the Service Centre will be taken and logged by the Security Centre.
