So, I'm sure we're all aware of the renovations to Building 4. The plan is that all science will move to the city campus and be held in Building 4. At the moment, Biological Sciences are based out at the St Leonard's Gore Hill Campus, and Physics is still up on Level 11 in the Tower. Though the Institute of Nanotechnology is supposedly not part of the Faculty of Science, they still participate in primarily science subjects, and I think it's a bit strange that they aren't being relocated (to my knowledge).

So, what does this mean for us as students? It means disruptions galore.

The postgraduate students are being shuffled to offices where there will be more than 20 people crammed into the one box.

Any offices on the side of the corridor closest to the basketball courts have to be vacated. This includes the offices of A/Prof Roux, Dr Kalman, the mail room and environmental sciences. Of course the Dean's Office remains completely unaffected.

Sensitive and expensive equipment risks being damaged due to the building being half open, at some stage, exposed to dust, vibration and the elements.

A badly planned and inconsiderate political venture on UTS' part.
