Juli 2016: What are we working on?

Building A

Building A

Work from 4 July to 28 August will include drilling and sawing for the three new skylights which will allow more daylight to enter the hall of the building.

From 18 July to 5 August pile-driving work will take place with the installation of three 13-metre steel tubular piles that will subsequently be filled with concrete. These piles will form the foundation for the fire escapes.

How will this affect you?

The noise caused by the indoor drilling and sawing work will be muted by the façade and the placement of special noise barriers.

There may be some nuisance from the pile-driving work and making the openings in the roof for the skylights. Naturally, we will take measures to limit any nuisance as much as possible.

 

Work on the outdoor area

Since last year, work has been carried out on the outdoor area on the campus, both above ground and below ground. The water supply and sewers are being renewed, and contaminated soil removed where necessary. New paving, planting, lighting and benches are being installed.

Work will be carried out on both sides of Nieuwe Achtergracht in the coming period. Pay attention to the diversion signs and follow the instructions of the traffic wardens to quickly and safely reach your destination.

Diversions

Nieuwe Achtergracht south side

Work will be carried out on the water supply on the south side of the canal in front of the stairs to building B/C until 15 July. The paving is open here and the passage will temporarily be narrower. Building B/C and CREA will remain accessible.

Alternative routes July 2016

How will this affect you?

The delivery and removal of materials and equipment, as well as the sound of motors and paving plate compactors, will be audible and may cause some nuisance. Installing the sheet piling will not cause any noise nuisance. The demolition work on the north side of Nieuwe Achtergracht may cause some nuisance.

Building J/K

On Saturday 9 July and Saturday 16 July, excavation work will be carried out at several locations on the campus, including the areas next to and behind building J/K. This work is necessary for connecting the various buildings to the new water supply and subsequently flushing the pipes.

Building G

From 18 July to mid-August various work will be carried out in building G, such as changes to the disabled entrance. This work is not expected to cause much nuisance.
