Facilities Management would like to advise all staff and students that the Annual Boiler Shutdown will take effect from 0800am on Monday 11 November through until 4pm on Friday 14 February 2025.

This shut down is required to enable critical maintenance and compliance work over the summer months.

This means that there will be no boiler heating available for 3 months. This includes all buildings on both the Ilam and Dovedale Campuses, with one exception.

Ernest Rutherford (SC24) heating is not boiler fired and will remain operational.

Only UC purchased or approved appliances are allowed to be operated on Campus, and these must be tested and tagged. Please ensure that you do not bring personal heaters or fans in from home.

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