Work on Sheaf and EMB, and the new atrium, continues to progress really well. The new chemical engineering lab, Sheaf 4014, is likely to be completed slightly ahead of schedule and rooms 3006, 3007 and 3009 in EMB may also be handed over to us before Christmas rather than in the new year. We have … Continue reading Sheaf/EMB update: 14 December 2016

STEM update (2 November 2015)
Work on the demolition of the entrance of Sheaf is now underway, with work being done by hand. Steps are being taken to minimise disruption by keeping the works self-contained with an insulated barrier. It is possible, however, that there may be some reverberation noise. Temporary scaffolding and waterproof covering will soon be installed over … Continue reading STEM update (2 November 2015)
