Facilities Management advise further truck movement for the placement and subsequent removal of a waste skip that will be located at the south end of the West Building (SC02) between 5pm Monday 4 August and 7am Tuesday 5 August

The south end of the building will be fenced off, while the skip is in place, to prevent access to any hazardous materials being carefully and appropriately waste managed.

Please be aware of truck movements during delivery and pick up of the skip, and do not enter the fenced off area.

Please adhere to any signage in place, and do not dispose any rubbish into the skip or remove any rubbish from the skip.

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

Thank you for your consideration during these works.

The Facilities Management Building Surveyors will be completing Building Floor Plan Inspections and Building Condition Assessments between Monday 4 August and Friday 8 August in the following buildings:

• SC22 – Putaiao Koiora – Building Condition Survey
• AS01 – Puaka-James Hight – Floor Plan Verification Survey

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 plans 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, and you may see the surveyors on the roof of the building. They will ensure that persons are not identifiable in any photographs taken.

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 plan verification and condition assessment programme.
