As we prepare for the upcoming Student Heart drop in sessions, we wanted to provide a brief update on the current works taking place within the Dolce Vita and outside the Sport St Mary’s running track.
We’ve made significant progress throughout each phase of the works. Planning for the future months continues and feedback received as part of the drop-in sessions will be used to help shape those plans.
We’ve completed the demolition phase in all areas and we anticipate that all steelwork will be installed within the next month, which will allow us to construct the new extensions.
Here are some of the latest pictures from the construction project.
The outside wall of the Dolce Vita has been demolished and an opening installed which will connect the Library to the Dolce Vita.
