On Wednesday 26 March the Building Survey team, who work in the Facilities Management Group here on Campus, will commence a programme of work to survey all buildings on the Dovedale and Ilam campuses.

The purpose of the survey is to complete a full visual assessment of the condition of the buildings.  Photographs are also taken during the assessment to maintain a visual record of the condition of the building at that time.

 What will the surveyors be doing? 

• Surveyors will be accessing all areas and are working with faculties to ensure the least disruption possible to your work and study spaces.
• The Surveyors will only be visually inspecting each room and in some cases may need to take measurements of the room or specific items. Depending on the size of the room this could take between 5 and 15 minutes.
• Surveyors will ensure that any photographs taken during the assessment are of the building and that persons are not identifiable in the photographs.

Please allow the surveyors to come in and view and measure the spaces – they will be quiet!

Your support in ensuring that spaces are tidy and open 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.

Facilities Management

As part of the works being undertaken on Clyde Road, new chipseal will be laid at the entrances to both Arts Road and University Drive between 9am and 4pm (approximately) on Monday 24 March.

 To undertake these works Dormer Construction  will need to close each individual entrance while that entrance is being worked on.  The closures and work will be completed one entrance at a time ensuring that there will be one entrance open at all times. Traffic management will be in place with signage directing you to the available open entrance/exit.

This will affect all traffic including cycle traffic.

Dormer Construction apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your support and patience during the closures.

If you have any questions around the ongoing maintenance in this area, please contact fmassist@canterbury.ac.nz
