Porters' lodge

Porters' lodge

A porters' lodge is a place near the entrance of a building where one or more porters can be found to respond to enquiries from the public and direct them around the building. It is particularly associated with university accommodation in the United Kingdom, United States and Canada (such as the majority of colleges of the Universities of Cambridge, Oxford, Durham and Toronto). Porters' lodges at residences usually accept mail for the members of the college, and have hubs for CCTV control and alarm systems.
