Phase 2 - Countdown to completion

• Plans are underway for the reinstatement of the fourth lawn within Old Court and of the gardens in Front Court once the compounds have been removed.
• These two compounds are progressively reducing; the green hoarding will be removed to expedite the process.
• The scaffolding in Front Court was reduced before Christmas.
• Progress in removing scaffolding generally was delayed by the cold weather throughout w/c 5th January.
• The scaffolders will catch up as much as possible, deploying extra resources.
• The slating and lead dressing of the remaining sections of the roof scheduled to be completed w/c 12th January was also adversely affected by the weather with w/c 19th January as the revised target.
• Meanwhile progress has been made with dismantling the green hoarding on the King's College site. This will be followed by the removal of the scaffolding and reinstatement of the railings between Front Court and King's College Chapel.
• Scaffolding removal will therefore continue through Old Court and out onto Trinity Lane into Lent term. Please remain vigilant.
• The room handback programme continues with Room E5 being brought into use from Monday 19th January, followed by 11 further rooms in January and early February.
• The programme to refurbish E Staircase is underway, first with the renovation of the balustrades and bannisters (almost complete), followed by painting and decorating. This will extend towards the end of January. Please take extra care in this area.
