Facilities Management are pleased to advise the temporary reopening of the Bike Shed, located at the rear of the Central Lecture Theatres building at the Beatrice Tinsley (SC07) end (refer to inset map).

We still have some work to do on the shelter; however, we have decided to open it up on an interim basis and then re-close the shelter for the roof install in October when the weather is more settled.

When we close for the completion of the repairs in October, we will be doing some work to reorganise the internal layout and make the space more user friendly.

If you have any enquiries, please contact fmassist@canterbury.ac.nz

Thank you for your patience as we complete these repair and re-roof works.

Facilities Management advise truck movement for the placement of a waste skip that will be located at the south end of the West Building (SC02) between 5pm Monday 28 July and 7am Tuesday 29 July.

The south end of the building will be fenced off, while the skip is in place, to prevent access to any hazardous materials being carefully and appropriately waste managed.

Please be aware of truck movements during delivery and pick up of the skip, and do not enter the fenced off area.

Please adhere to any signage in place, and do not dispose of any rubbish into the skip or remove any rubbish from the skip.

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

Thank you for your consideration during these works.
