Facilities Management Contractors will be carrying out planned quarterly testing of the 3 Automatic fire doors on levels 2,3, and 4, in the link-way between Ernest Rutherford and Beatrice Tinsley, between 7.30am and 12 midday tomorrow Thursday 28 August.

There is one door on each floor and Contractors will be working on one door, one floor, at a time.
