titleChristmas 2023 - extended and customary building closure

We will be closing the Environment building offices from Wednesday 20th December to Friday 5th January inclusive.

  • The building will remain fully open on Monday 18th and Tuesday 19th December, as we still have teaching in the building.
  • The laboratories will remain partially open and will have technical and safety support until 1700 on Friday 22nd December. They will reopen on Tuesday 2nd January 2024 at 0900.
  • Laboratory research staff and students - if you require laboratory access during the customary closure period (Saturday 23rd December 2023 until Monday 1st January 2024) please complete this form. You will need a lone working risk assessment for this period (as usual) and must not enter the laboratories unless you have one in place.
  • All offices will be closed, with heating turned off. Anyone who works in an office space should work from home. The University Executive Board has said they will provide alternative space on campus for those who can't work from home, but unfortunately have not yet released further details on this - we are expecting some communications soon.
  • Please speak to your line manager or supervisor in the first instance if you have concerns about working from home for this period.
  • As a final reminder, YOU MUST NOT bring in any heating appliances to your offices. If there are temperature problems in your office, please let Dave Hay know.
