Formation of Roadway and Resurfacing Phase I, Main Campus - Library Square, from Peter Walker, Maintenance Works Manager

These works have now commenced. In order to safeguard University staff, students and visitors it is necessary to restrict access to Library Square. Designated foot access will be indicated. There will be no access into or from Library Square via the steps at the bottom of the ramp between the Sports Centre and Chesham Building. Alternative access can be obtained via Richmond Road or Shearbridge Green Hall. No attempt should be made to enter the barriered off work site in Library Square.

It is anticipated that these works will be completed in four weeks. Apologises are offered for this temporary inconvenience whilst the work is carried out. A list of current Estates and Facilities projects can be seen at http://www.brad.ac.uk/admin/estates/cprojects.html
