New Furniture Arriving

We are almost there – thanks for your continued patience!

 New furniture for the 358 additional study spaces will start to arrive next week – please see below for details.

 Tuesday 13th September – 2nd & 4th Floors

Thursday 15th September – Lower Ground Floor

Tuesday 20th September – 1st & 3rd Floors

 Whilst every attempt will be taken to avoid the minimum of disruption to users as the new furniture is assembled there will be an element of unavoidable noise as these works get carried out.

 The installation of the new desk top power modules will be installed quickly after the new study desks have been assembled, the desktop power will enable you to charge your devices via a plug or a USB port. These works will be carried out in the evening as there will be an element of drilling work involved.  As with previous works, barriers will be put in place to alert users of the areas where the contractors will be working in.  

 Tuesday 13th , Wednesday 14th & Thursday 15th September – 2nd & 4th Floors

Monday 19th September – Lower Ground Floor

Tuesday 20th &  Wednesday 21st September –   1st & 3rd Floor
