Facilities Management advises that acoustic testing will take place on Tuesday, 14 October, between 5:30pm and 6:30pm across Levels 1 to 4 of the Karl Popper building.

This testing is essential to assess wall soundproofing and ensure the building meets noise insulation standards.

What to expect:

• Loud noise will be generated in one room and measured in adjacent rooms.
• Elevated noise levels may be noticeable, similar to a live band playing.
• Noise will mostly be heard when entering or exiting testing areas.

How you can help:

• Minimise loud activities (e.g. loud talking, power tools) near testing areas.
• Avoid unnecessary movement and noise during the testing period.
• Follow any instructions from the testing team or staff on site.

Thank you for your cooperation in helping us complete this important work efficiently.

Facilities Management would like to inform staff and students that a Fire Safety Video will be filmed across various locations on the UC Campus between Thursday 9 and Friday 10 October.

This professionally managed filming will contribute to our Fire Safety Training and Education portfolio.

If you prefer not to be filmed, please avoid areas where filming is taking place. Signage will be clearly displayed to indicate active filming zones, and these will move as production progresses.

Further information about the filming process and documentation for individuals who may appear in the video will be available on-site. If you believe you have been filmed, you may request a permission form from the film crew to authorise the use of any captured images.

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

Thank you for your cooperation.
