Hail repair update

Chifley Library 

• We are very excited that the Chifley Library roofing project is now complete. 
• We would like to extend a huge thank you to everyone involved in this process, as well as all our library users for their patience.
• Thank you in particular to the incredible contractors, who did an extraordinarily good job coping with adverse weather and the many challenges associated with this building.
• Next time you are on campus, please take a moment to appreciate the beautiful new roof –  during sunrise or sunset the copper has a beautiful glow! 
   

Art & Music 

• The branch will be closed on Saturday 5 August to allow for internal scaffolding to be built. 

Menzies Library 

• The scaffolding is due to be finished this week, weather pending. 
• Roofing work will begin next week, starting Monday 31 July. 
• Internal shielding over the rare books collection was successfully installed. Any collection materials which aren’t currently under the internal shield will be moved before work starts. 
• The air conditioning units on the roof are due to be replaced. 
   

Law 

• Scaffolding will begin to be installed around the Law Library starting on the week of 14 August. It is anticipated it will take two weeks to install. 
• It is likely that the Library will need to shut for a brief period during the end of August to early September. If this is the case, a book retrieval service will be in place. We will confirm as soon as possible. 
• Asbestos-containing materials (ACM) has started being removed from roof, with all relevant safety precautions in place.
