Thank you everyone for your patience.
The Emergency Operations Control Group (EOCG) just met. There is no change in building access for now. It is closed to everyone. London Fire and Police Services are both investigating at the scene. The smoke damage on the 8th floor is considerable and is affecting air quality throughout.
Unfortunately, one of our colleagues suffered smoke inhalation, but there were no other injuries.
We have asked for a further update from Police and Health and Safety for later Sunday so that we can provide any updates about re-opening at least partially Monday. Expect to hear from us Sunday evening.
On the student front, all exams that were scheduled for our building have been moved and the Registrar’s Office is making contact with students. You might wish to post new locations on your Brightspace sites once you receive the updates.
