The North Haugh is the science and innovation hub of St Andrews, and living in Agnes Blackadder Hall (ABH) or Powell Hall puts you right in the center of it. These halls are large, modern, and—during move-out week—incredibly busy.
Managing the Large-Scale Move
With hundreds of students in ABH alone, the elevators become the most contested real estate on campus in late May. Powell Hall, being largely postgraduate, often involves residents with “heavier” lives—more books, more research materials, and more professional attire.
Tips for North Haugh Residents:
- The “Postgrad” Pack: If you’re in Powell, you likely have sensitive documents or expensive textbooks. Our moisture-resistant storage is vital for preventing “book-curl” over the damp Scottish summer.
- Labeling: With so many students moving at once, clear labeling isn’t just a suggestion; it’s a requirement.
- Group Bookings: If you and your lab partners are all heading home, coordinate your pickup. We can handle multiple collections from the same wing, saving everyone time.
The Smart Choice for North Haugh Residents Science tells us the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. Our door-to-door service is the most logical way to get your gear from ABH to our secure warehouse. Reserve Your Space in our North Haugh Collection
