Law Library   

• Discussions are ongoing with the construction team regarding planned roof repairs to the Law building.

Menzies Library  

• Discussions about the upcoming Menzies Library roof repairs has been ramping up. Representatives from the construction crew, Facilities & Services, Menzies Library, and ANU Archives are meeting on a regular basis.
• We anticipate that the installation of scaffolding around Menzies Library will commence in June, after exams have finished.
• A few options are being explored for how to protect the rare book collection on the top floor of the Menzies Library during the roof repair process. The construction team are working closely with subcontractors and ANU representatives to determine a way forward. 
• Approval for a copper roofing subcontractor has been obtained. 
• The mechanical scope is being finalised and it has been determined that there will be minimal to no disruption to the building occupants during the roof works.
