Site hoarding and temporary fencing will be in place around the Ground Source Heat Pump (GSHP)Plant Room between 8am Monday 28 July and 5pm Friday 12 August to allow electrical supply works to be completed to the GSHP Plant Room.

Temporary fencing will be in place across the pathway between the Plant Room and the Ernest Rutherford building and this pathway will be closed during the works period.

Please use alternative access routes during the works and remain alert for contractor vehicle movement in and around the site.

Do not enter the works area, behind the temporary fencing or inside any coned or taped off areas.

Thank you for your understanding as we complete these required electrical works.

Facilities Management.

The Facilities Management Building Surveyors will be completing Building Floor Plan Inspections and Building Condition Assessments between 8.30am Thursday 24 July and 4.30pm Friday 1 August in the following buildings:

• LA01 – Meremere
• AS01 – Puaka-James Hight

A building floor plan verification is when we complete a visual inspection of all rooms to verify, and record, any differences in the viewed floor layout against current plans that the University hold on file.

To complete the building condition assessment Surveyors will record the condition of the building and may take photos to support these records. They will ensure that persons are not identifiable in any photographs.

To complete these assessments the Building Surveyors will be accessing all spaces within an area or building, so please allow access – they will be very quiet!

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

Thank you for your support during the Building Survey programme.
