G11 construction – early works to University Drive
Posted: February 10, 2012 Filed under: Library construction news Leave a comment »Early works continue on University Drive which will be widened to allow access for construction vehicles and deliveries to the G11 site. The roundabout on University Drive near G02 and G16 will be redesigned, carpark B will have it’s entrance changed, the pedestrian crossing outside G33 will be relocated and footpath works will be undertaken.
Please follow signage and instruction from contractors to remain safe in shared pedestrian areas. It’s not safe to use University Drive as a very wide footpath! (Indy, I’m talking to you…)

G11 construction compound established, February 2
Posted: February 2, 2012 Filed under: Library construction news Leave a comment »Watpac have now established the G11 construction site compound off Science Road. The compound will be in place for the duration of the project and is ‘owned’ and managed by our colleagues in construction.
Please be aware that stair 5 and stair 6 are no longer a safe option for entry/exit to G10. These fire stairs now exit directly into the construction compound so are unsafe for general use. The doors will provide emergency egress for staff and clients only.
Signage will be posted today to the emergency egress only exits.
Staff have full access to G10 via the loading bay or the main entrance. There is also a staff only entry/exit (CARDAX controlled) from The Lab, G10 2.04.
