The Centre for Mathematical Sciences is currently undergoing a refurbishment of its offices, common areas, meeting rooms and lecture theatres - in fact the whole place is getting refresh.  This huge project was started in November 2023 and goes all the way through to March 2026 and everyone will be impacted and will benefit from what is going on.

What is happening during the refurb?

The main part of the project involves an electrical upgrade of the light fittings throughout the site to LED's.  The lighting in offices will be on PIR settings so both of these upgrades will ensure we are being more ecological with our electricity usage.  The woollen carpets throughout the buildings are being replaced with floor tiles allowing easy replacement when necessary and all the painted surfaces are getting a fresh coat of paint.  Also you will notice that the kitchens in the Common Rooms are being completely renewed and Pavilions D & G will be having dishwashers installed to be used by Facilities for events.

How long will it take?

Each pavilion floor is taking about 3.5 weeks from start to finish. 

What has been done so far?

Pavilion D has been completed from top to bottom - new carpet and lighting throughout and all walls repainted.  New kitchen installed including a new fridge and integrated dishwasher (the dishwasher is for Facilities use only).

MR12 & MR14 have also benefitted from a repaint, new lighting and new flooring.

What is currently being done?

Pav C is now currently underway starting with the second floor.

What is next?

The Labs will then start and have new lighting, some repainting and some new flooring.

MR2 will be undergoing its transformation over the Christmas Break 2024 and MR3, 4 and 5 will be updated over the Easter Break 2025.

How will it affect you

• You will be notified, by email, a few weeks before the contractors start in your pavilion. 
• If you are an office resident you will receive a "moving pack".  This will confirm the moving out date - this is the date that you will actually have to vacate your office by.  You will be expected to pack all your belongings in your office into plastic packing boxes which will be supplied by Maintenance. The Moving Pack will give you all the information you need to help you pack your office and give you a moving back date.
