Karl Popper Refurbishment Works 3 March – 31 July

Facilities Management Contractor, Modcon Projects, will be undertaking refurbishment and fitout works on levels 1-4 of the Karl Popper building between Monday 3 March and Friday 31 July (20 weeks) to accommodate the Faculty of Law.

The contractor will commence site establishment on Monday 3 March with the installation of scaffolding to the south side of the Karl Popper building. Materials for the works will be transported from the Meremere car park using a telehandler and this will temporarily close pedestrian access.

Construction signage will be in place directing foot traffic and guiding staff and students to alternative access during this period.

Do not enter any restricted or contractor works areas. Please exercise caution around heavy machinery and plant and truck movement and follow alternative access signage during pedestrian walkway closures.

Direct all enquiries to fmassist@canterbury.ac.nz

Thank you for your consideration during these planned refurbishment works.
