We have obtained some supported Government funding for this work which must be used by the end of the year which has set the programme. We are currently in the middle of this very tight 9 weeks duration of work and are in the 2 week window that most affects the temperature in the space. The temperature will have dropped over the past 2 weeks as the old unit serving the George Edwards building with heating has been removed and a new unit lifted into position.

This work was carried out over the weekend of the 6/7th to minimise impact on use of the building. We are currently pushing hard to re-establish heating connections and get the fan working again to supply warm air to the space. This is planned to be completed by Thursday 11th November. Once re-established we can then continue onto complete the works fully without further impact on the space itself.

If required any major impact works, as with the new power supply and the lifting operations, these will be carried out were possible, outside normal operating hours. The hot water service to the George Edwards Toilet core is also affected during this period as it is also being replaced. It will take a little longer to re-establish as further equipment is needed to be fitted on this system.
