This means\u00a0that\u00a0both\u00a0A48 will be accessed only from the Atrium door for the duration of the works.<br \/>\nThese works are likely to impact on other building users as sections of corridor must be cordoned off in order to make the works safe. There will be a presence in the area of contractors wearing the necessary PPE equipment, including coveralls, along a pre-determined transit route.<br \/>\nPlease observe any restrictions and signage in place for the works.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Emergency Lighting Testing in Physics<\/strong><br \/>\nWill take place week commencing 26th March\u00a0 2018 \u00a0from 9am daily.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Accessible Toilets Alarms, associated alarms and fire refuge point alarms testing<\/strong><br \/>\nWill take place week commencing\u00a0 2ND April \u00a0from 9am daily.<br \/>\nEvery 2nd week there is a quick test to ensure all Emergency Alarms \u00a0are operational.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Water Hygiene and Shower head cleaning in Physics<\/strong><br \/>\nWill take place week commencing 2nd April 2018 \u00a0from 9am daily.<br \/>\nTwo Lancaster University engineers will require access to kitchens and shared bathrooms to test hot water temperatures.\u00a0 The engineers will not test every kitchen\/bathroom just a sample from different locations within the building.\u00a0 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.<br \/>\nLancaster University appointed engineers will require access to bathrooms to remove shower heads for cleaning to prevent the build-up of materials and bacteria as well as to ensure their effective operation.\u00a0 This will take approximately 5 minutes per shower head.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fire Door Interface Inspections <\/strong><br \/>\nWill take place in the Physics Building on \u00a04th April from 9am.<br \/>\nEvery 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.<br \/>\nThis 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.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TMV \u2013 Thermostatic Mixing Valve Testing in Physics <\/strong><br \/>\nWill take place week commencing 16th April 2018 \u00a0from 9am daily.<br \/>\nThis is a brief survey -TMV \u2013 Thermostatic Mixing Valves are on basins and sinks.\u00a0 These devices require an inspection and service check to ensure that the incoming Hot &amp; Cold water is being mixed correctly and the mixing valve functions correctly.\u00a0 The TMV\u2019s are generally located within communal areas and access will not be required into Student rooms.

We are planning to play a role playing game of up to 30 people called Werewolf, which is really fun game involving roleplaying, teamwork, deception, but feel free to bring along other games too.
