PORTERS’ LODGE

The Porters’ Lodge (or ‘plodge’) is probably the first place you’ll ever visit in Robinson, to collect your ID Card and room key, if you’re living in college.

Everyone living in college has a pigeon hole (or ‘pidge’), where your post is delivered. It’s manned 24/7 by our wonderful Porters. They’re happy to help out with any issue or questions that you might have - or just have to have a friendly chat!

THE POST ROOM

To stop the Porters’ Lodge filling up with parcels, the College recently dedicated a new Post Room in the space previously occupied by the old laundry.

The Post Room is by a porter for limited hours; these are currently:

Mondays to Saturdays
8:30 am to 9:30 am, 1 pm to 2 pm, 7 pm to 8pm

Sundays
10 am to 11 am, 2pm to 3 pm

If there’s no one present at the Post Room during these hours, ask at the Porter’s Lodge for assistance and someone will be able to open the room for you.

While it can be tempting to not rush, knowing that the parcel is safe and looked after, please try and collect anything that you have delivered as promptly as possible. This ensures that there’s always space for everyone’s post (important) and that you don’t get laughed at by the Porters for trying to carry too many boxes away at once (vital).
