Facilities Management Contractors will be carrying out planned quarterly testing of the 3 Automatic fire doors on levels 2,3, and 4, in the link-way between Ernest Rutherford and Beatrice Tinsley, between 7.30am and 12 midday tomorrow Thursday 28 August.

There is one door on each floor and Contractors will be working on one door, one floor, at a time.

The Contractor will manage access as required to allow people to pass through the location, but there may be a small window of time that you will be required to take an alternative route. The stairs and lift will still be operable.

Please follow contractor direction and signage, and if access is temporarily closed use either the lift or stairs.

Please direct any enquiries to fmassist@canterbury.ac.nz

Thank you for your support as these planned fire compliance inspections are undertaken.
