Building JB - Roof and Window Repairs - Waurn Ponds
Starts 06/11/2023, finishes 30/01/2024Two projects - repairing the glass ceiling in the atrium area and window replacement on Level 3 - are to take place concurrently in Building JB, Waurn Ponds Campus, from Monday 6 November to Tuesday 30 January 2024.
There are several impacts associated with these works as outlined below:
Access changes
- No access to the internal, central stairwell in Building JB from Saturday 25 November to Tuesday 28 November. Wayfinding signage will be in place and alternative stairwells/lifts should be used.

-No street access from the Alfred Deakin Drive loop into Building JB spaces with street fronts on Level 2, except for the Medical Centre and the IA Lecture Theatre (IA1.006). All other spaces will need to utilise internal access.

Works such as scaffolding installation and demolition will generate high noise in the work zones and surrounding areas. Staff may prefer to work from an alternate on-campus workspace, such as the Drop in/Drop Out space in Building KC.
Accessible and Loading Zone parking on crane days
On the two crane days - Monday 20 November and Thursday 7 December - when the Alfred Deakin Drive vehicle loop will be closed, please utilise:
