Building KA Infill - Waurn Ponds
Starts 07/01/2019, finishes 31/12/2019We're increasing space and creating a modern and flexible new work environment through the redevelopment of Building KA at the Waurn Ponds Campus. This will include: infill of the central courtyard to create more floor space on Levels 3, 4 and 5, soft fit out of the new floor space on Levels 3 and 4, and full refurbishment of Level 5.
Access changes:
- Site sheds will be positioned in the courtyard to the west of the building, so access to this area will be restricted
- Kings Way will be partially blocked off, with access for construction staff, maintenance vehicles, delivery and service vehicles and emergency services only
- Access to the internal courtyard will no longer be available, and will be blocked with hoarding
- The Level 2 amenities will be allocated to construction staff staff based on Level 2 should use the amenities on Level 1 (currently being refurbished for you) or Level 3.
Construction impacts:
There will be some construction noise, access and services disruptions required to facilitate construction of the infill, such as:
- Visual distraction of construction equipment and contractors on site
- Noisy works such as demolition of courtyard structures, internal walls and existing services
- General construction noise such as banging, cutting, grinding and sawing
- Power and water outages (planned outages will be scheduled out of hours whenever possible).
The construction program will be carefully designed to minimise impact on key university activities such as orientation, exams and Open Day.
Thank you for your patience.
