Last night a decision was made by Adam Wheeler (Provost) and Malcolm Ace (Chief Operating Officer) to close access to buildings 30 and 30a as a precautionary measure. We’ve taken a very risk averse attitude to deal with what we believe to be a specific and isolated incident that may not even be related to a University building.
For the avoidance of doubt, this does not relate to any leak or airborne emission from the buildings or involve any transmittable substance.
We are taking advice from external agencies to confirm that there is no risk and we would hope to re-open the buildings as soon as possible. We will be updating staff once we have received that advice.
Any external requests for information should be passed to the Communications team on 02380 593212 or [email protected]
