Construction work for the new Halls of Residence is due to start on site on Monday 15 February and is due for completion in summer 2011.

The work will involve the construction of 505 student bedrooms arranged in four blocks across the site between Rootes Residences and Tocil Ponds. The following arrangements will be in place during the construction period:

• Contractors will access the site from the bottom of Health Centre Road and through Car Park 2 where the barrier position will be modified and the number of parking spaces reduced. (The issue of car park 2 usage was addressed by the Transport Strategy Group, amongst other transport related issues. The final report will be available shortly and will be followed by an implementation stage.)
• The bottom of Health Centre Road, beyond carpark 6, will be cordoned off to enable the contractors to access the site. Please note, there will be no parking in this area and the site will be cordoned off from Sunday 14 February.
• A traffic management system will be in place from Monday 15 to Wednesday 17 February on University Road. Further details here - www2.warwick.ac.uk/insite/newsandevents/notices/healthcentreroadfeb10
  
• There will be footpath diversions in the immediate area. These will affect the footpath from Health Centre Road to Tocil Ponds and the footpaths which currently serve Car Park 2. Please follow the signposted diversions.
• The primary footpath and cycle path linking central campus with Gibbet Hill will remain in use for the duration of the project.

Any questions should be addressed to Robert Gamble, Senior Project Manager, Estates at Robert.Gamble@warwick.ac.uk
