Frosting installation in Engineering Builidng A workspace w/c 7 May
23 Apr 2024
Some minor disruption will be caused in the Third and Fourth floor workspace areas, to accomodate installation of frosting to provide additional privacy in these areas
Throughout w/c 7 May, contractors will be on-site across the Third and Fourth Floors of the Engineering Building A workspace to install frosting to various glass partitions. This follows feedback from colleagues around the need for additional privacy and confidentiality management measures in these areas.
We cannot provide a precise schedule for this activity but it is expected to last for the entire working week, progressing through the areas outlined below in stages. Disruption will be largely kept to a minimum but for a small number of colleagues whose allocated or touchdown working space sits directly next to these partitions, they will be required to relocate to an alternative space for the duration of the week as these desks will need to be moved to accommodate installation works (highlighted below)
| Workspace area | Installation area | Disruption |
| Third Floor, Core 1 (Atrium) | Digital Signal Processing Lab (External window) | Minimal |
| Third Floor, Core 1 (North and East) | Perimeter of open plan workspace area | Temporary removal of touchdown technical desks immediately next to Meet and Teach Room 3A.002 |
| Third Floor, Core 1 (West) | Access pass-controlled entrance | Temporary re-routing into open plan space via alternative entrances |
| Fourt Floor, Core 1 (East) | Open plan workspace, adjacent to staff social space | Temporary removal of desks immediately next to staff social space |
For those colleagues whose desks/touchdown space will need to be moved, your departmental operations teams will be in touch prior to the installation date to advise on alternative space available during this time.
We apologise for any disruption caused and if you have any questions, please get in touch via TEAM@manchester.ac.uk
