Student Life

Grimsby Institute Campus and Facilities

The Institute is like a mini-town. Along with our great catering facilities we have an extensive sports centre and gym, our Graduate Salon’s hairdressing and beauty facility and iSpace, the place to go for peace and quiet when you’re reading or studying. Within iSpace you will find a range of computers and laptops which you can use to help your studies. There is also the Reading Garden which is ideal for quiet reading, with access to resources including online books and journals as well as help with assignments.

Please note: that the College is now cashless so any payments would need to be by card.

The Refectory

With meals starting from £3, our refectory offers food that is not only tasty but also affordable. Alongside tea, coffee and soft drinks, we stock premium sandwiches, healthy meals made in-house, a fresh salad bar, paninis, jacket potatoes, pizza and much more, all served in a comfortable, friendly environment. Vegan and vegetarian options are plentiful, and we cater to all dietary needs. 

We also provide a FREE healthy breakfast to our learners every day from 8:15am – 8:45am! 

The Campus Shop 

Here you can find a wide selection of magazines and newspapers, groceries and confectionery, hot beverages by Costa Coffee and, of course, stationery and other essential study materials.

The Gallery Restaurant in the hospitality department is run by learners; it offers a unique, reasonably priced lunch and dinner menu that is changed termly.

Crumbs Bakery

Crumbs Bakery offers delicious snacks, both sweet and savoury, that are freshly prepared by our hospitality learners.

Sports Centre 

Our Sports Centre boasts a six-court hall for daily enrichment activities, and our full gym offers the chance to work out at a reduced membership rate exclusive to learners. 

The Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA) is made up of artificial pitches that are located beside the Sports Centre. These have been designed for learners, staff, local sports clubs and community groups to use throughout the day and evening for football and hockey on artificial grass.  

Enrichment Activities 

Whether you want to work up a physical sweat out on the field or just score big in a game of FIFA, or if you’d like to kick back to some Netflix or get into one of our ambassador groups, there is plenty on offer in terms of enrichment. 

Over the course of the year there will also be themed weeks and events offering various opportunities to upskill yourself, improve your awareness and develop your mental and physical wellbeing, such as our annual Inter-college Competition and the Competitions’ Carnival!

Campus Parking

The campus car park is open to all students, staff and members of the public visiting our site. 

Vehicles must be parked in designated spaces only. Vehicles must not be parked on yellow lines or areas hatched in yellow, in locations where health and safety issues arise (for example, somewhere that may block fire escape routes) or in such a way that causes obstruction or inconvenience to others. This rule also applies to motorcycles, which should be parked in specially designated areas only. 

Any vehicles found to be in violation of these rules may be clamped and issued with a parking ticket. Grimsby Institute is not involved in the issuing of parking tickets, and you should instead contact Shield Security for any concerns (all details are listed on the back of tickets). 

The campus car park is private property and all vehicles are parked at their owner’s risk. 

Learning Centres 

There are two main Learning Centres at our Nuns Corner campus: iSpace, our FE Learning Centre, is located on the first floor of D Block, while the HE Learning Centre is spread out over two floors in the University Centre. There is also an additional service at the Nunsthorpe Community Campus on Sutcliffe Avenue. Staff and students may borrow from any of our Learning Centres, though you’ll need a student identity card to do so. 

Full details of services and facilities are available within the centres and on this website. Use this link to find out more!
