Painting of Security Offices-Temporary Access Changes

Leave a comment

Facilities Management Contractors will be painting the exterior of the UC Security Building (RH01) between Tuesday 3 December and Monday 23 December.

24/7 access into the Security Building will be retained through the main entrance, however scaffolding will be in place, and the area will be fenced during the works.

This will affect some access pathways and the accessibility access into the building.

 Accessibility

The accessibility ramp will be temporarily closed while the scaffold is on site in that area. This scaffold will be removed as soon as possible once painting of that area is completed.

If you would usually use the accessibility access into the Security Office and require assistance from Security while this closure is in place, please wait at the entrance steps and call Security on 0800 823 637. A Security Staff member will assist you.

The footpath to the south side of the Security Office will be closed and signage will be in place to direct pedestrians to the path on the north side of Security, adjacent to the creek.

Please follow all directional signage to alternative footpaths for access into the University and into the Security Building and do not enter the fenced off areas.
