There will be a total heating and cooling outage affecting the Tupuānuku Student Accommodation Building between 11am and 4pm on Tuesday 15 April while contactors install electrical circuit breakers on the switchboard feeding the heating and cooling circuits for the building.

The outage has been scheduled from 11am to ensure that there is a build-up of heating mass to the building and that the work is completed in the period when the most solar gain (heat) is available to students and staff.

Please remain aware that heating and cooling will be unavailable during this period. Students should utilise other Campus facilities, such as the library, if needed during the outage., and ensure that you dress for the weather if in the building.

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