How often do you walk to campus? If you can, consider this your official encouragement to start. Walking offers immediate benefits: sharper focus, reduced stress, better cardiovascular health and that essential transition time your brain needs between home and lectures. It’s a small, intentional choice that makes a real difference.
The ‘Blue Route’ offers a secure path between upper and lower campus, marked by nine signature bollards with flashing blue lights. The bollards are evenly spaced along the routes and have an intercom linked directly to CPS.
Find the blue route on your campus maps and make walking your confident campus routine from day one – whenever it works for you.
