Updated at 4pm on Wednesday: The Facilities team has spent today checking all the trees on our Mt Albert campus to ensure that there are no further risks from falling branches. There are still two damaged trees that need checking and those areas (near Buildings 1 and 76) have been cordoned off to keep people away. Once the safety checks are complete, the team will move into clean-up mode to remove all the storm debris.
Wednesday 9am: Unitec’s campuses have been relatively unaffected by the storm. The Facilities team is hard at work clearing debris off the roads at Mt Albert and checking trees for loose branches and an arborist is now on site continuing that work. While there are no obvious areas of risk, do take care today when walking under large trees.
Auckland Transport is advising people to only travel if they need to so please talk to your manager if working from home makes sense for you today.
The Procession for today’s Graduation has been cancelled due to the bad weather but all ceremonies will run as planned.
