The university’s student union has organised a jam-packed week of activities including fairs, trips, karaoke, quizzes, drag bingo, and an international food fair, with more events promised.
The road closure will impact all vehicles, with the exception of emergency service vehicles responding to emergencies or vehicles that have received special permission from Glasgow City Council‘s events section.
The restrictions also include a prohibition on waiting, loading, and unloading.
The road closure is expected to cause some disruption in the city centre, but it is deemed necessary to ensure the safety of all those attending the freshers’ week events.
