For residents going home or travelling for the summer or deferring their contract for up to 12 months, you can utilise B&G’s storage spaces so that you don’t have to take everything home with you and bring it back!
Storage is provided as a courtesy to our residents in facilities that are available on-site. Though storage facilities are locked, it is important to note that whilst all care is taken, items in storage are left at owner’s risk. Burton and Garran Hall accepts no responsibility for loss or damage to your goods whilst in storage. Storage is only available to current and returning residents of Burton and Garran Hall.
