Locker size?

Tonyr1 · 07-09-2011 11:11am #1

Hi Guys,

Could somebody tell me if the average locker can take a motorbike helmet?

Tks

thysol · 07-09-2011 11:12am

What lockers are you talking about?

mathew · 07-09-2011 11:12am

The large ones in the arts block will, but the arts block isn't 24hour like the Hamilton is.
You will also need to be in pretty early to get a large locker!

Hamilton. Sounds like I will be carrying my helmet around.

There's a cloakroom in the Hamilton. Bring a cloth bag to throw your helmet in and hand it in there, they stay open for the working day but you wont be able to leave it in there late, shouldn't be a problem though unless you're going out drinking and don't want to bring your bike home.

I saw a thing in a recent SU email saying something about cloakrooms being free now, but I've used the Hamilton one for 2 years with no mention of charges before. Either way, it's free to leave stuff in there for the day.

Don't they charge you for leaving stuff overnight? Also there are lockers in the Lloyd building that may be bigger than those in the Hamilton concourse.

I said they're open for the working day but you can't leave it in late, ie. if the OP wants to store the helmet while going to classes 9-5 it's fine, but if overnight storage is needed for a night out or whatever, it won't be suitable.

Well I said if you leave something there and simply don't collect it, they have to do something with it. And it was my understanding that you would be fined the next day for that.

thanks for tips guys al least for some of the day I can dump the helmet.

Probably a Newbie question- how do we get these lockers, are they a sort of leave the thing there take the key or do we get a special one for ourselves?

Queue up outside the arts block (early!) on the first day of term (Monday 26th), tell the man on the security desk where you want your locker, get a form, fill it out and give it to the guy in the office along with €20 deposit + €20 rent for one year.

Yep! Aim to get one in the Hamilton, it's 24 hour access and the lockers are at the foot of the staircase to the library. There's also Panoz/east end, which is the same building, but a bit out of the way. Lloyd building is nearby but the lockers are smaller and I'm not sure if it's 24 hour.

irishgirl10 · 14-09-2011 10:33pm

These are probably such stupid questions but I need to ask them! :P
Will the lockers hold a gym bag?.. And what times are they open?

Richieee · 14-09-2011 10:48pm

The larger ones will hold a gym bag easily enough. The lockers are open/accessible for as long as the building they're in is open.

In regards to the cloakrooms, would they keep a suitcase on a fri for a few hours so I wouldn't have to trek back to halls, plan on going home once a month so it'd be a big enough case. Do a lot of people do this or would I look silly rolling round a massive wheelie on a Friday morning?!

bscm · 14-09-2011 11:51pm

I'll make an effort to get in early, but what would be the latest time to secure a locker in Hamilton? I'll more than likely be in at 8am-8:30am if I have a 9am lecture, but just wondering...

I've seen plenty of people put big cases in the cloak room, no one will pass any remarks.

steve84 · 15-09-2011 8:35pm

Which of the lockers are the largest in/near the Hamilton?

16-09-2011 10:43am

I haven't gotten a locker in JF or SF and both years it was fine. I don't plan on getting one this year either. The only real advantage of a locker is being able to leave stuff overnight, which I never needed to do. I think some people feel extra security in a locker though, if they're bringing in valuables like laptops.

Jammyc · 22-09-2011 5:04pm

Called into the campus superintendent today and was told that there will be lockers in the Biosciences Institute but not for a few weeks. He said best bet was to keep renting the one I have and then come to him in a few weeks when the lockers arrive and he'll arrange a swap.

Oooooh tempting. Now to decide if I want it to be convenient for lectures or the library....

Scrappychimow · 23-09-2011 3:14pm

I have a locker in the hamilton and i'm wondering if a tennis racket will fit in it?
I forget if they are long enough,does anyone store a tennis racket in their locker in the hamilton? :cool:

irishgirl10 · 23-09-2011 4:26pm

Is it too late to get a locker?? Preferably near/in the arts building?

bscm · 23-09-2011 5:33pm

Perfect, where exactly do I go in the Arts Building??

the security desk, everyone has to go there regardless of where they want a locker so be prepared for potential queues

mia_xx · 24-09-2011 6:02pm

So what time is it advisable to be in the college at on Monday morning?

some people can turn up at 10am and get one, but a lot of people camp out at 7:30am for a specific location.... from what I've heard you should be able to get one if you turn up before 10am as the Arts Block has a large number of lockers compared to the smaller areas down East End. Even if you don't get one, some people apply but never come back so you might get one later in term

So do we just line up, pay and get the form and then we have our locker or is it a much more complicated process?

That's ok, you'd think i'd know seeing as i'm technically in my 2nd year at Trinity (course transfer)!

Line up, get the form (that guarantees you that locker, then go and pay(later if you want)

Yalu · 25-09-2011 12:17pm

Does anyone have any idea what the opening hours of the Lloyd Institute are? Can you use a swipe there out-of-hours? I'm trying to decide if I want a locker there or in the 24hr Hamilton.

Also, is there any need to queue at 6a.m. if I just want one of the Lloyd ones or could I leave it until the afternoon?

Thanks!

YodaBoy · 25-09-2011 1:47pm

Anyone know if there will be lockers in the new Biomedical Sciences Institute or do people based there have to get the Hamilton ones?

Go back a page and someone's already posted about it

you apparently get one in Hamilton etc and then do a swap when they become available later in term

You don't have to get one in the Hamilton, I just had mine reserved in the Hamilton (Panoz) from last year so I said I'd keep it until the new ones come in.

waterbabe1 · 25-09-2011 6:47pm

When did you 'book it for two years'? Did you go in after exams in May and tell them you wanted to keep it? You had to go to the office before term starts to repay the rental fee. They might not have emptied it though.

Hi guys a late one: anyone know what time they issue forms? I have a lecture at 9.00.

You would want to get there after 7, then you should make it to your 9am lecture. Its a really crap start to your first day, rather you than me.

Jammyc · 25-09-2011 8:33pm

I've said it before, but I've never queued up. First year, I went in to get a locker 2 weeks into term and got one in the lloyd buidling. Second year, I went in the week after they'd been given out and got one in the Panoz.

Tonyr1 · 25-09-2011 8:58pm

Thanks guys

Are the lockers in the Panoz building available 24 hours? I have swipe access to the Hamilton but I've no idea whether the close off the Panoz?

What I meant was if you can get into the Hamilton you'll be able to access the Panoz; it's the same building.

Where do I pay for my locker? It's in the Panoz.

Campus Superintendent's office, on the corridor beside the security office in the arts block. Bring the form and €40.

Locker size?
