Facilities Management Building Surveyors will be completing surveys of the roof of the UCSA Haere-roa Building (SS27) between 8.30am Thursday 17 July and 4.30pm Friday 18 July.

If you see staff on the Haere-roa roof that time it is likely that they will be the surveyors, who will be following all working at heights safety protocol. If you are at all concerned, please contact UC Security tel: 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 available 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.
