Facilities Management Building Surveyors will be completing the Building Floor Plan Inspection and Building Condition Assessment on the Engineering Lecture Theatres building between Monday 11 August and Friday 15 August.

Affected and Adjacent Buildings:

• EN10 – Engineering Lecture Theatres (E8 & E9)
• EN01 – Rāta (Blocks B, D, E, F)
• EN18 – Civil & Mechanical Engineering Block E

The floor plan verification involves a visual check of room layouts to confirm accuracy with existing plans.

The Building survey involves the assessment of building interiors (when vacant) and exteriors. Surveyors may be seen on rooftops and will follow all safety protocols.

Photos may be taken, but individuals will not be identifiable.

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.

Facilities Management

Facilities Management contractors will be cleaning the pond beside and beneath the steps of the Puaka-James Hight building from 7:00 AM Saturday 9 August to 5:00 PM Sunday 10 August.

The pond is part of the building’s air conditioning system and does not contain fish. Contractors will use water blasting and suction equipment to remove moss and algae, helping ensure the system runs efficiently during the summer.

Seating areas near the pond will be temporarily closed, and hoses and piping will be laid out in the vicinity throughout the cleaning process. The equipment being used will be noisy and there will be truck movement through the courtyard and pond area.

Please ensure that you follow all safety and access closure signage in place.

Thank you for your patience while this essential maintenance is carried out.
