The Facilities Management Surveying Tean will be completing Building Floor Plan Inspections between 8.30am Monday 21 July and 4.30pm Friday 25 July in the following buildings:

 (EN18) – Civil and Mechanical, Engineering Block E.

  • (EN17) – Engineering Link, Engineering Block A.

building floor plan verification is when we complete a visual inspection of all rooms to verify and record any differences in the viewed floor plans against current plans that the University hold on file.

To do this the Building Surveyors will be accessing all spaces within an area or building, so please allow access – they will be very quiet!

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

Thank you for your support during the building plan verification programme.

Ilam Riccarton Wastewater Road Works: Reminder – Parking Restrictions on Maidstone Road

This is a reminder to students that on-street parking has been temporarily removed in Maidstone Road between Ilam Road and Waimairi Road.

This means that no parking traffic restrictions apply and will be enforced.

This reduced parking on Maidstone Road is not only to enable the Dormer Construction Team to manage and complete the Ilam Wastewater works, but also to ensure the health and safety of road users and road workers while heavy road works machinery is in use.

Dormer Construction are requesting staff and students NOT to park in areas marked with no parking signs through the road construction zones.  If this continues to be an issue, vehicles will be towed.

* Please remember that UC have parking available on the Dovedale site. *

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

Thank you for your support.
