On the 23 June, work is due to start to investigate some of the drainages outside of the Lockwood Building. This will involve excavating a pit outside the fire exit of the Lockwood Building that opens directly opposite the entrance of Professor Stuart Hall.

The fire exit will be out of use for the duration of the excavation and inspection of the drainage.
