Recently, there have been alarms in the library as a result of alarm testing in Puaka James Hight. Our response to unnotified alarm testing provided by Facilities Management Team is:
“If the alarm stops within 10 seconds then it is a test and there is no need to evacuate”.
The library will be notified for the annual testing of alarms and these will be communicated to staff. Where unscheduled alarm testing occurs, FM has advised that they will endeavour if possible to broadcast a warning over the system before any test in the building.
All other alarms require that the building be evacuated until the fire service gives permission to reenter the building.
We welcome Stuart Broughton to the UC Library and to the Learning, Teaching and Research Team. Stuart has worked at UC since 2003 when he was involved with the introduction of PBRF. He currently works at Research and Innovation and will join our team on the 11th of April. Nau mai Stuart.
We acknowledge our applicants for their courage and willingness to stand and make a difference – Mauri Ora.
