Information Centers
The Information Center in your College House or Sansom Place is operated by the Residential Services Manager (RSM) and offers daily, front line, 24-hour assistance to residents.
It is the first point of contact for most residential concerns and provides services and support in areas of security, maintenance and equipment rental.
