What’s
going on?
·
Work is progressing in the basement of
the tower and the demolition contractors are now starting to strip out the area
for the mechanical plant for the new lifts and the service risers
·
Library staff have continued the work to
clear the basement and to ensure the contractors have a clear area to work in
and to make sure the book stock is protected. The microfilms which were
housed in the basement will be moved to the Hull History Centre and until
further notice will be available through Document Supply at no charge
·
The ground floor of the south wing is
being painted and as soon as a shelving company is appointed the order for the
decant shelving will be placed. The decoration in this area will be
minimal as the space will be fully refurbished once the decant area is no
longer required. It is expected that this area will be ready in mid March
when the move of stock will start from the 3rd and 4th
floors.
·
Work will start on Monday 28 January to
erect hoardings and scaffolding around the staircase adjacent to the lifts
which leads to the first floor. Demolition of the staircase will commence
on Monday 4 February and will be done out of hours as the work will be very
noisy
