Lancaster University\u2019s refurbishment of the Physics Building has created a world class department for teaching and research.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.
\nProfessor 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.<\/p>\n

Signage will be in place to highlight the diverted route.

Shonah Ion<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Just a reminder we have our next interview day, February 21st, the day starts at 10:00 and finishes around 15:45. We will be touring the building between 11-12:30 and will be using C36 for most of the day apart 11-13:00. The kitchen will not be available for use between 13:00 & 16:00 please use one of the other kitchens in the building.<\/p>\n Please make sure the kitchen area of Physics is clean and tidy by removing your pots from the draining board and clearing your rubbish, If not it will be boxed up.<\/p>\n Other dates to note are: February 21st 28th Many thanks for your support and apologies for any inconvenience caused.<\/p>\n Helen O’keeffe<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The next Physics Away Day will take place on Thursday 12th April at Green Lane Conference Centre, (Lancaster House Hotel). An agenda is not yet available but online PDRs, the Curriculum Review and Inclusive Learning Issues will be discussed amongst other items. Grainne Wilkinson<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Thanks to the work of our Electronics\u2019 workshop we now have fixed Oxygen depletion alarm systems in most of the labs where cryogenics are used. To ensure we stay safe whilst moving dewers from the filling areas to labs users should use a portable O2 monitor.
