Phase 2: Countdown to completion - almost nearly there!

• Most of the hoarding outside G Arch, next to the Scholars' Garden has been removed. It and the temporary Heras fencing will disappear with the last of the scaffolding.
• The remaining building compound and equipment on Front Court is due to be cleared by 6th March. This includes the removal of the temporary cycle racks which will cease to be available from 2nd March.
• Turfing in Old Court will take place between 2nd - 4th March. There will be heavy machinery in use and turf delivered on pallets via The Avenue so please take care.
• Turfing in Front Court and the Scholars' Garden will follow during 10th - 13th March.
• Final scaffolding removal from the Scholars' Garden and G Arch is targeted for imminent completion with Saturday working this weekend.
• All refurbished rooms have been returned to the College with just the cleaning of some floorboards remaining to complete the redecoration of E Stair.
• From 12th March, following removal of all scaffolding, the lightening conduction can be fully connected within Old Court and on the King's College elevation. This will involve a mobile work platform.
• Over the Easter break minor works to the Phase 1b guttering will be completed using a mobile work platform.
• The external doors to the stairs of A, D, E and F will be refurbished as part of the Phase 2 scheme in June when weather conditions are favourable.
