Level 2 study pods (M2.02 & M2.03) are available for booking. The Level 4 study pods (M4.03, M4.04 & M4.05) will be opening very soon.

Starting Thursday, scaffolding will be put up in the main stair atrium to allow for some alterations above the glass walls on the western side. The scaffolding will extend on to the stairs on the western side, so the stairs will be closed on that side.

Fins on the north elevation are now in place and work has begun to install the framing for the windows.
