Facilities Management are starting a programme of work to visually inspect and verify internal floor plans in some buildings across both the Ilam and Dovedale Campuses.

To do this our Senior Surveyor will be completing a visual inspection of all spaces in a building, and noting where there are any differences to the floor plans sighted against those plans that the University have on file.

The first of these inspections are scheduled to take place in (ED02) Otakaro between Thursday 12 June and Friday 13 of June, followed by the Henry Field Library and Kotuku from 16 June until 19 June.

These inspections are separate to the building surveys currently being undertaken across Campus. The floor plan verification is about the plan of the building and the building condition survey is about the overall condition of the fabric of the building. All of this information will support robust information to support the management of our facilities.

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

 Thank you for your consideration as we undertake these verification inspections.

On Sunday 1st June, during King’s Birthday weekend, a small group from Run Canterbury headed out to Lincoln to take part in the Selwyn Marathon – and they did an awesome job!

Four UC students, who had been training through a 10-week programme run by the UC RecCentre, took on the challenge. Three completed the half marathon, and one student ran her first-ever 10km — finishing in under an hour. A seriously impressive effort from everyone involved!

We’re really proud of how much progress these students made over the programme and how well they performed on the day. It was a great atmosphere, and everyone came away with a sense of achievement

Keen to give running a go?

Facilities Management contractors will be undertaking Rotary Borehole Drilling and Cone Penetration Testing (CPT) on the Kirkwood Fields site between Thursday 12 June and Monday 23 June. These geotechnical and environmental site assessments are being completed, as per usual practice, ahead of any site development.

Contractors will be commencing works at 7.30am, and will be using mobile drill rigs that generate minimal noise and vibration. Each testing type is expected to take approximately five (5) days.

All works will remain confined within the designated site boundary. Please observe all site requirements, adhere to all signage, and follow directions provided by site personnel. Do not enter the designated or fenced work area,

Please direct enquiries to fmassist@canterbury.ac.nz

Thank you for your support as we complete these required investigations.
