CPIT due to open again Monday 13th Sept

 

Yeah!! CPIT is expected to open again on Monday. Staff were allowed into the Library this week to tidy up, although damage has been minimal. The Saturday quake caused light fittings to come adrift from the ceiling, but they have snapped back together again. Some books fell to the floor, but  thanks to earthquake strengthening and bracing on the shelves, this was not a major problem…(perhaps it also helped that our building was designed by a Wellington Architect ?!)  The shelves on Level 2 of the Library have earthquake bracing across the top of the shelves. On the ground floor the shelves are bolted to the concrete floor. 

Fewer aftershocks, of reduced intensity, are helping calm frayed nerves and life is slowly returning to normal. We look forward to seeing staff and students back on Monday after what has been a very long week. 

While some students have managed to return books in the past week we will be waiving overdues and making adjustments to due-dates on Monday morning. 

Please ignore any overdue email notices which may have been automatically generated in the past week. 

Access to online resources via the website has been reinstated today (Friday).
