Features of the halls

Public Art Project

Station Approach has been the home of a major public art project. A series of top UK-based artists have been invited to make large-scale work for the exterior of the halls, including Lothar Gotz, Matthew Cornford and Laura White.

Electric bikes + busses

As well as secure bike storage, the halls have a parking bay for the city's bike share scheme - Beryl Bikes- that includes a fleet of electric bikes to make those hills a little easier. A bus stop next to the halls also connects you to the free, electric bus service - the Zipper - which run every 15 minutes.

You can also collect parcels from their office - and they manage the security contract for the building, which includes external CCTV and electric-locking system on external doors.
