Emergency Lighting Testing
In Physics Building will take place week commencing Monday 26th February from 9am daily.
Every month there is a quick test to ensure all Emergency Lighting fittings are operational. This involves a quick visual test. In residences, this applies to corridors and kitchens. There are longer, more involved tests at 6 month and 12 month intervals. We will be notified should any of these be occurring.
If you have any queries regarding the timing of the works please contact Facilities Helpdesk as soon as possible, facilities.helpdesk@lancaster.ac.uk or 01524 593333

Water Hygiene Testing
in the Physics Building will take place week commencing Monday 26th February from 9am daily.
Two Lancaster University engineers will require access to kitchens and shared bathrooms to test hot water temperatures. The engineers will not test every kitchen/bathroom just a sample from different locations within the building. This brief survey will take approximately five minutes, and is to ensure that the hot water is maintained at the correct temperature to prevent any instances of legionella. There will be no shutdown of service.

Physics Building Opening
Lancaster University’s refurbishment of the Physics Building has created a world class department for teaching and research.
The refurbishment has improved the learning and working environment for students and staff, and is designed to support future growth. The teaching labs have been modernised to become show pieces for the department, and the building now features improved sustainability and accessibility. The refurbishment has targeted a BREEAM Excellent standard which measures a building’s environmental performance and the effect it will have on the wider environment.
We would like to invite you to join us for the official opening of the refurbished building on Thursday 1 March 2017. You are welcome to join us at 2.30pm in the Physics building foyer where we will hear a few short speeches which will mark the completion of the refurbishment. Please do stay and join us afterwards for a celebratory drink.
Professor Dame Jocelyn Bell Burnell DBE FRS will officially open the building. Jocelyn is President of The Royal Society of Edinburgh and is Visiting Professor, Astrophysics, University of Oxford. She was elected as Fellow of the Royal Society in 2003 and was awarded an Honorary Degree from Lancaster University in 2009.
