Middlewalk Road Closure
Due to the need to undertake essential maintenance works the Middlewalk Road (situated between Esther Parkin and Marlborough Court ) will be temporarily closed from 0700hrs until 1800hrs on Wednesday 24 July 2014.
In order to minimise disruption to Campus users a temporary diversion route will be established and automated traffic lights will facilitate the flow of traffic until the works are completed.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused and should you have any queries please contact the Department of Estates via email.
UPDATE- Work commenced on Saturday 22 July 2013 and went as planned on the soil pipework on Level 3 of Wessex House. The second phase of works will be carried out this weekend 27 & 28 July 2013. The scaffolding will remain in place for the duration of works.
Estates will be carrying out essential soil pipework maintenance on Level 3 of Wessex House in the lobby ceiling void space outside of the Council Chamber from Saturday 20 July 2013.
Tower scaffolding will be erected from the ground floor up through the centre of the stairwell. This will not impede on the staircase or directly affect access/egress of personnel.

In response to legal requirements, the University will commence the periodic electrical inspection and testing of the integrity of the electrical installation of the following buildings:
1 East, 2 South, 3 South,
5 South, 7 West, 8 West, Central Stores and

This testing means power will be turned off for short periods as the engineers test each circuit. The engineers will be in full consultation with the building users and technical staff making sure they only isolate power when everyone is in agreement and that there are no unexpected power outages.
Work will commence on Monday 12 August 2013 and the testing will be carried out in the order of the buildings as above. Confirmed dates will be given at a later date.
Should you have any issues or concerns please contact the Department of Estates via email.
