Bicentennial Building - Construction Work
​Our rooms are still open!

The roof of the Bicentennial Building is being replaced and will cause some temporary disruption and access to parking for our rooms.  

Parking is still available in our usual area however, a fence has just been erected in front of our rooms. Access will be from either end of the fence (at this stage).
A traffic warden will be on duty to direct you where to park if necessary. It is anticipated that this work will be finished in approximately 2 weeks.
