More power in the Main Library: electrical works beginning June 8th
Works will begin on Monday 8th June to install power sockets to around 150 study spaces across levels 3 and 4 currently without power. Plug sockets and USB ports, shown in the above photo, will be installed. In order to do this work, contractors will be on site for a number of weeks and some of this work will be disruptive to users.
Arrows indicate where the contractors will be working on Level 2 (entry level) of the Main Library.
We estimate that this work will take around 6-8 weeks to complete. Power needs to be routed through the ceiling on level 2 up through the floor of level 3 and from the ceiling of level 3 up to the corresponding floor area of level 4.
Arrows indicate the desk where power will be installed.
Contractors will be on site during the day preparing areas for work but we do not expect any disruption to users other than some study areas being closed off. From Monday the 8th of June to Friday the 19th of June, the contractors will be carrying out noisier work between the hours of 5pm and 10pm. This will involve loud drilling which will be both noisy and disruptive but is unavoidable. This noisy work will only happen during Monday-Friday of each of these 2 weeks.
Study areas will be available to use but may be too loud to concentrate in. Bookshelves will remain accessible throughout these times and Martyrs Kirk will remain open to PGT and PGR students as well as staff until 9pm during the week.
The main areas affected between 5pm and 10pm will be on the south side of the building including the café.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
