Kitchens, Toilets and Breakout Spaces

Kitchens, toilets and breakout areas are on all floors and are shared between building users. Please be aware that University cleaners or the Bayes Centre Team will not take any responsibility for any food and drink left behind in those areas and you should ensure they are always kept clean and tidy. Please be aware that areas adjacent to the kitchens, particularly at lunch times, are not appropriate locations for meetings.

Mail and Deliveries

Incoming Mail

All mail and packages delivered to the Bayes Centre should be for business purposes only and not personal use. Mail will be put into respective pigeonholes for individual collection.

Parcels

Parcels must be picked up at reception during operating hours from 9am - 5pm and collected on the day of delivery without exception. Please notify us in advance of incoming parcels and ensure each is clearly labelled with the recipient's name and the Bayes Centre address.

Large deliveries require a designated individual onsite for handling. Food deliveries must be met at the entrance; reception will not accept them. We are not responsible for lost or damaged goods post-delivery. Royal Mail parcels go to Old College's central mail room and may face delays; contact the mail room at 0131 650 8008 for queries.

Outgoing Parcels

For outgoing parcels, ensure they are prepared and labelled correctly, brought to reception ahead of the collection time and include contact information for the pickup. Without proper arrangement, couriers may not collect the parcel.

Cycling Facilities

A covered bicycle store, changing facilities, showers and hair dryers are available in the basement. If you would like access to these facilities, please email the University Transport Department at transport@ed.ac.uk.
