As part of our plans to refresh the Level 1 common area in LSU following water damage earlier this year, works are commencing next Wednesday 6 November 2024.
This will involve reconfiguring the Level 1 entrance from the fernery area and installing a new automatic door. This change will create a larger informal seating space inside the building.
Then in December, we will continue with new flooring installation in phases, with all works expected to be completed by the end of January 2025.
The end result will be a more welcoming place for students to relax, refuel, catch up and study.
Impacts you can expect during construction:
- Building access: Temporary fencing and hoarding will be set up around the work area, affecting access to Level 1. Please use the deck area during this time (refer to map below). Directional signage will be in place.
- After hours Library access: Between 8pm and 7am, access to the Library is via the Gallery, LSU Level 0. Please note that during these hours, the Library is only accessible by swiping your student or staff ID card.
- Noise: There will be some noisy works – these will be kept to a minimum and undertaken outside of business hours.
- Seating restrictions: Some of the seating inside the common area will be unavailable during the works.
