Following precautionary closure of the relevant areas, a structural assessment has confirmed that it is acceptable to reoccupy the basement and lower ground levels of DKB Block 03, provided the Ground level remains vacant. Safety Services have inspected and confirmed that mitigation measures to protect students, staff and visitors in the quad are acceptable. Signage and temporary barriers have been amended to allow access as agreed and detailed.
Access to the Level 01 Waste Water Lab will remain restricted to essential works, with limited numbers of staff for restricted hours only.
Remedial works design has been developed by the appointed Structural Engineers and temporary remedial works are currently undergoing installation.
