Facilities Management contractors will be working out of usual business hours in the Ernest Rutherford building between Wednesday 11 June and Monday 12 December.

The contractors expect to start work each Monday evening at 6pm, and work through until approximately 4am the following morning, completing fire compliance works on the braided hoses on the chilled beam system, the fire dampers, and other associated works.

This means that contractors will be onsite, and working overnight, each Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday for the expected 25-week duration of the project.

Some pre-works test runs may be completed within Rooms 120 and 410 and a wall installed in the corridor in front of Rm 116.

Please do not enter any work areas if you are onsite during while contractors are working.

Thank you for your understanding and consideration as we complete this required compliance work.

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

or to Security@canterbury.ac.nz if you have immediate concerns that should be addressed overnight.

Facilities Management Building Surveyors will be undertaking Building Surveys on multiple buildings between Tuesday the 10th of June and Friday the 13th of June 2025.

If you see staff in spaces across Campus during that time, it is likely that they will be the surveyors who will be following all working at heights and other safety protocol as required. If you are at all concerned, please contact UC Security tel:0800823637.

The purpose of the UC Building surveys is to complete a full visual assessment of the condition of the interior and exterior of the building. Surveyors will ensure that any photographs taken during the assessment are of the building and that persons are not identifiable in the photographs.

 Your support in ensuring that spaces are tidy and open for inspection will be appreciated.

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

 Thank you for your consideration as we undertake these required building surveys.
