Building Surveys Programme Including Exterior Rooves 23 April – 2 May

Facilities Management Building Surveyors will be undertaking surveys to the interiors and some exterior roof spaces on multiple buildings between Wednesday 23 April and Friday 2 May.

If you see staff on roof spaces across Campus during that time, it is likely that they will be the surveyors and will be following all working at heights safety protocol. If you are at all concerned, please contact UC Security 0800823637.

The purpose of the UC Building surveys is to complete a full visual assessment of the condition of the interior and exterior of the building. Surveyors will ensure that any photographs taken during the assessment are of the building and that persons are not identifiable in the photographs.

 Your support in ensuring that spaces are tidy and open for inspection will be appreciated.

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

 Thank you for your consideration as we undertake these required building surveys.

Wishing you a happy Easter 

Dear students, 

As we continue to celebrate the diversity of our university community, we recognise the significance of Easter for many of our students and staff. Alongside those who celebrate the holiday as a secular, family or rest time, Lent and Easter remain important religious holidays for many in our community. The life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ continues to inspire Christians of many varieties and traditions in special times of prayer, service and celebration. 

To all who are celebrating, we wish you a holy, joyous and meaningful Easter. May this time bring you peace, happiness and connection with family and loved ones. 

The UC Chaplaincy team are here to support you and we offer pastoral and practical support regardless of your background or beliefs. We can be found in Forestry 115, and offer spiritual and pastoral care, and practical support, including community lunches, a pop up vege stall, and wellbeing support for students and staff. 

Ngā mihi, 

John Fox, Senior Chaplain
