Our Infrastructure Operations Team has advised that the lift in B170 has had a failure, and that they are waiting on parts to be air freighted from England. The lift should be fully operational by Friday 26 February.
Unfortunately, this has happened during planned structural work for the full replacement of lifts in B182 and B115.
Please contact the Infrastructure team if you have any questions.
This is not good news because as far as I aware this now makes it impossible for students who need the lift to get to any classrooms on upper floors of Building 182 and Building 170. (The Building 170 lift was the backup for Building 182).
I realise most students aren’t back until 1 March but for this lift to be repaired by 26 February is cutting it fine!
Yes it is cutting it fine. With years of under investment it can be a challenging task to prioritise renewals, and this has been some bad luck with one going down. WE are certainly trying incredibly hard to get this done ASAP
This is bad luck. Just wondered if you have an approx completion date for the replacement lifts in B182 and B115?
Hi Donna, pending no further shipping delays it will be mid-March
