Health and Life Science building - rerouting of cables
Monday, 01 July 2019
Work on our new Health and Life Sciences building is progressing well. Colleagues who have passed by the site will have noticed the main structure is now complete which was marked by the Topping Out ceremony in June.
To allow certain work to proceed two high voltage cables need to re-routed. This will mean that the road between the site and car park 13 will be closed from Tuesday 2 to Thursday 11 July. The area where the road will be closed is marked in red in the photograph below.
Please note, therefore, that the normal entrance to car park 13 will be closed during this time. Entry to the car park will instead be via the north entrance (adjacent to the Harry Nursten building). Access to the Energy Centre (building 210 on campus maps) will be uninterrupted throughout these works.
With the completion of the exterior structure, internal works and service installation is continuing with construction scheduled to be completed in late 2019. The project demonstrates the University commitment to 2026: TRANSFORM capital investment programme, with £60m being invested to bring about closer integration of the school.
