Month: June 2019

This week the contractors continued with the strip out works and began installing crash decks in the lecture theatre’s to allow safe access while working at height to replace the ceiling, lighting and AV cabling.

Work has also progressed on modifications to the two projection rooms to allow for high quality projectors to be installed. This will improve viewing angles for the audience in the Curtis Auditorium and enable dual projection in the three lecture theatres.

What a difference a week makes! The contractors have stripped out all of the seating, carpets, wall panelling and any loose fixtures.

Access into the Herschel Building is now via the north ground floor entrance (between the main building and Herschel Annex) or the rear doors off Brewery Lane.

Main contractors, P F Burridge, arrived on site today to begin site setup. The AV team have also stripped the existing audio visual equipment out of Lecture Theatres 1, 2 and 3 which will be either recycled or reused elsewhere on campus.
