Brunel University is the summer training base for Usain Bolt’s Racers Track Club
“We chose Brunel as the training base for the PACE/Racers Track Club athletes due to the world class indoor and outdoor training facilities, close proximity to the major London airports and our headquarters in Teddington, and the availability of good accommodation on site.”
Ricky Simms, Usain Bolt’s agent and Director of Pace Sports Management

The University can also provide access to the Beldam Gallery. As a versatile, purpose built space the Gallery displays temporary exhibitions and is an attractive venue for informal launches and parties.
It is the combination of sporting, living and event facilities that makes Brunel such a unique London venue.
CateringA full range of catering options is available on campus including a large, modern, food hall, two sports bars, and a high street style coffee shop. The University is used to catering for large scale events and provides a very wide range of food to meet the needs of all dietary requirements, cuisines and cultures.
As part of our banqueting offering we can also provide prestige menus for high profile events and VIP guests.
SecuritySeguridadSegurança
The 30-strong team of professional men and women who make up our Security Department are integral to the University’s operations and to everyone who lives and works at Brunel.
Our Security teams operate 24/7, 365 days a year and provide strict and thorough yet unobtrusive surveillance and support for our students, staff and guests.
The Security Control Room is a centrally located and secure base from which the campus-wide CCTV system is monitored. It is also the control centre for access to the campus via a network of entry and exit barriers, and for the comprehensive intruder and fire alarm systems.
The Control Room maintains radio communications with the security foot and cycle patrols as well as a dedicated on-site emergency vehicle.
The whole team can be easily identified from their high visibility uniforms, including protective vests, which are designed to emulate professional law enforcement teams.
In recent years the University’s Security Team have managed several high-profile visits to campus including Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Prime Minister Tony Blair, and Ambassadors from a number of nations.
