Building Plan Verification Schedule for 18-22 August

The Facilities Management Surveyors will be completing Building Floor Plan Verification Inspections between 8.30am Monday 18 August and 4.30pm Friday 22 August in the following buildings:

  • (AR04) North Arts Lecture Theatre
  • (AR05) South Arts Lecture Theatre
  • (GS&&) Central Lecture Theatres
  • (AR11) Alice Candy
  • (EN08 ) Engineering & physical Sciences Library entrance
  • The Engineering bike shed will also be inspected.

The purpose of verifying the building floor plans is to conduct a visual inspection of the premises and identify any discrepancies compared to the plans currently held by the University. To do this the FM Building Surveyors will be accessing all spaces within an area or building. They will be very quiet and only access lectures theatres if they are vacant.

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

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