Updated: pedestrian pathway to temporarily close from Monday 17 July

Wednesday, 12 July 2017

A section of pedestrian pathway near the site of the Engineering Building will temporarily close from Monday 17 July 2017.

The foot pathway will be closed from the boiler house to the area adjacent to car park 12, next to the recently-demolished Engineering Building at Whiteknights campus. 

Car park 13 (in front of the Harborne Building) and the road nearby will remain open, but the area will only be accessible to cars and other vehicles.

An alternative pedestrian route from the zebra crossings by the Pepper Lane entrance will be signposted.

An update on footpath access around the area will follow as early as possible.   

Please also note that excavation works will take place along a short section of road behind the Engineering Building site. The road will remain open, but it will be reduced to a single lane and will be controlled by a traffic light.   

The activity forms part of works for the creation of the University’s new Health & Life Sciences Building, which is due to be complete by summer 2019.
