Campus Projects

Whilst Property Services have a priority focus on providing facilities that are fit-for-purpose and maintained to all codes and regulations, work is also undertaken on major upgrades and new works to support the changing University environment.

Following is a brief look at some of these works.

Updated Traffic Management Plan for the Lismore Campus. Property Services are revisiting our existing traffic way-signage and road markings in order to accommodate the new environment and additional tenants now on campus. Works to remediate the signage and road marking are being scheduled and will commence shortly.

Asbestos Removal Works

The University is committed to the safety of all it's staff, students and visitors and as such Property Services has been working consistently over the past year with the goal of removing all asbestos containing materials from our Lismore Campus. These works are being performed in a safe and orderly fashion to ensure no one is placed at risk while these materials are collected and disposed.
