Dear all,

it is not possible for us to meet in B52 as it has become the departmental office.

We will now be meeting in the park, as the Hicks building room is not available either…Please meet at 11.55 outside B52!

Mol Ecol Lab – open as usual

Posted on July 22, 2013 by Debs| Leave a comment

The lab is now open and everything is working. However the main entrance to the dept is closed so the lab should be accessed via the back lane (at the side of the library) or via the side entrance on the Firth court side, up the steps and under the Perak.

Access to office B54, Celine’s office and the locker room is available and electricity and internet is working but access to/via the other offices on the next B1 corridor (Terry’s, Roger’s Jon’s, Ben’s lab etc) is not yet possible.

The fire alarm is not yet working so listen for klaxon / verbal fire warnings. Check the fumehoods are working with Andy before use.
