Vernon Road will re-open 6am on Monday 9 July. Essential work will be complete and all routes open as usual.

/in , /by

Date of disruption: Monday 4 June – Friday 6 July

Essential work will take place on Vernon Road to divert a brick culvert into the drainage system for Nexus. This work is part of the two-year, £38m investment scheme to construct Nexus; a new enterprise centre.

Services to be interrupted:
There will be no access to the Multi-storey car park from Woodhouse Lane between Monday 4 June and Friday 6 July 2018. Access will only be possible during this time via Calverley Street and Willow Terrace Road,  over the inner ring road bridge. As an alternative, the Estates Service have acquired space at Woodhouse Moor for Permit holders to park on Woodhouse Cinder Moor on the following dates (8am – 6pm). This will be manned by Security staff from 8am – 5pm.

● 4th – 8th June
● 11th, 12th, 14th June
● 18th – 22nd June

We hope that after the first 3 weeks, access to exit the Multi-Storey Car Park can be re-routed under the Physics Deck, although this is subject to the contractor works. We will inform Permit holders when this route becomes available to use.  The Estates Service have also arranged for the traffic light sequencing on Calverley Street to be modified during this period to further improve traffic circulation. HGV deliveries will also be affected due to the weak bridge crossing the Inner Ring Road at Calverley St / Willow Terrace Road, which has a weight restriction of 7.5 tonnes.

Clothworkers South: Noise Disruption

/in /by

Refurbishment works are continuing within the Clothworkers South building as part of the 3D Weaving Innovation Centre project. The works have been extended beyond the original completion dates due to additional asbestos removal works having to be carried out in the buildings below ground duct zones. The duct zones required clearance to allow for the buildings services to be connected and completed.

 

We are aware that the ongoing works are creating some issues in terms of noise disruption. To minimize the impact of the ongoing works we are implementing the following measures:

  • Works onsite commencing at 6.00am to carry out the most intrusive and prolonged noisy work, prior to commencement of teaching
  • Teaching timetables have been provided to the project team so that other ongoing works can be targeted around scheduled teaching periods
  • All operatives onsite are undergoing tool box talks by William Birch to raise awareness of the impact their refurbishment activities can have on the occupants of Clothworkers South, and the need for them to work considerately.

 

Please see below, floor plans of the building, depicting where works are still ongoing and showing current forecasted completion dates.

We are continuing to work closely with the occupants of Clothworkers to complete the works as speedily as possible, whilst also being mindful of the buildings day-to-day activities.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
