Amazon Hub Lockers, campus’s newest addition
LEXINGTON, Ky. (Feb. 13, 2023) — The University of Kentucky Auxiliary Services is excited to announce the addition of Amazon Hub Lockers to campus. Two locker banks are being installed on campus — one at The 90 and one at the Gatton Student Center — with hopes to providing students more access to their packages.
“Rather than just eliminating the problem of getting too many packages through residence halls and the postal service, the lockers will help get a better handle on campus deliveries,” said Scott Henry, the executive director of the Gatton Student Center and Campus Hospitality.
The lockers will provide an alternative option, allowing users to directly pick-up their package at a convenient location on their own time
“The Amazon Hub Lockers are phase one of a larger issue,” said Andrew Smith assistant vice president of UK Auxiliary Services. “We hope to see many positive reactions campuswide as we continue to improve the campus delivery experience.”
The lockers will be available for all members of the UK community.
