Facilities works

Fire door interface inspections will take place in Physics week commencing the 3rd February 2020 from 9am.
Every month the University is required to test the interface between the fire alarm system and door control systems in all buildings with access control and/or automatic doors.

This work is undertaken by Honeywell Control Systems Ltd and requires the physical inspection of all doors controlled by the access control system while the fire alarm is active and the doors are locked. This check is to ensure that all doors on escape routes will allow evacuation in the event that the fire alarm is activated. In most cases the alarm will be silenced during the inspection, but for some older systems, where it is not possible to silence the alarm, the checks have to be conducted while the alarm is sounding. Owing for the requirement for the doors to be locked during this test some buildings, where access is required during the week, will be tested at the weekend.

Surplus furniture

There are a small number of operator chairs (red colour) and narrow tables in C02. If you can use any of them please let me know. Preference will be given to use in the Department but if you can use them at home, take them. Just don’t bring them back.
