Fire safety review at the Faculty of Arts

The Faculty of Arts has initiated a fire safety review of all buildings used by Arts students and staff.

An external fire safety consultant has been appointed to carry out the review with a focus on the following, among other things:

• Review of existing documentation
• Physical fire safety inspection of buildings and relevant rooms
• Alarm and notification systems
• Occupant load for each building, floor and room
• Escape routes and exits
• Technical installations
• Furniture and equipment

The review will result in a report outlining any required remedial actions and recommendations.

The review covers teaching facilities, offices, common areas, and technical facilities. Research, teaching and day-to-day work may be affected during the periods when a building is being inspected and again during any subsequent remedial work that may be required.
