Porters' Lodge

Porters' Lodge
Die Alcuin College Porter's Lodge bei der University of York.

Eine Porters' Lodge ist ein Ort nahe dem Eingang eines Gebäudes, wo einer oder mehrere Porters aufgefunden werden können, um auf Anfragen von außen zu reagieren und diese um das Gebäude ringsherum zu verweisen. Es wird insbesondere mit Universitätsunterkünften in dem Vereinigten Königreich, den Vereinigten Staaten, sowie Kanada assoziiert. Als solche kann man die Mehrheit der Colleges der Universitäten, wie Cambridge, Oxford, Durham und Toronto nennen. Die Porters' Lodges bei Wohnhäusern empfangen gewöhnlich die Post der Angehörigen des College und sind der Knotenpunkt für Videoüberwachungsanlagen (engl. Closed-Circuit televison) sowie Alarmsysteme.
