Campus Building Compliance and SHE Programme
• Humphrey Raikes façade repairs The reglazing of the south laboratory façade of the Humphrey Raikes building with laminated safety glass is complete. In view of favourable costing and resulting savings, the scope has been extended to include the reglazing of the west office block façade. This work was originally planned for completion in December 2020, but there were challenges in accessing individual offices to undertake the work while the majority of the staff were working from home in 2020. The revised completion date is by December 2021. • Oppenheimer Life Sciences Building The polycarbonate skylights fitted in the Oppenheimer Life Sciences building are cracked and damaged following decades of exposure to UV radiation and wear and tear. This project involves the replacement of the skylight fixtures in the Oppenheimer Life Sciences building which have become cracked and damaged over time. The project was completed in December 2020. (Refer to pictures on the left). This project will be excluded from future narrative reports. 4.7.5.
