Good Afternoon all,

This is the last instalment of guidance demonstrating the recent changes we have made to make us COVID-Secure. As you will be aware these guidelines ensure our business complies with the Governments COVID-Secure scheme by assessing the risks COVID-19 could bring to our buildings and making the necessary adjustments to keep all our inhabitants safe. 

If you have missed any of the previous guidance these can be found in the announcements section, or as separate documents in the Facilities section of the "Student Information" page on the VLE, here. We strongly recommend that any Students and Visitors read these guides thoroughly before coming on-site.

This guide (attached below) outlines some of the changes we will be made to the equipment exchange procedure. 

To summarise:

  • Keycards are now collected from Floor 5 Facilities office.
  • To collect, amend or return equipment/keycards onsite please call our facilities roaming phone from your mobile to arrange a time slot (Riv: 01612144607, MC: 07842652126).
  1. To return the equipment please contact facilities first so that we may better manage queues.
  2. We may give you an allotted time to arrive in. Please adhere to this as closely as possible or we may ask you to return at another time when it is safer.
  • All resource forms will be available on the Student Information page. Please use these to prepare any needed equipment bookings in advance of entering the building, with planning in place for alternatives should your first choice not be available.
  • There will be changes made to the equipment collection and return areas. Please follow the signage provided when using these areas and follow instructions from facilities staff.
  • All equipment will be subject to buffer periods to allow for more thorough cleaning.
  1. Onsite Equipment buffer period is 24 hours.
  2. Offsite Equipment buffer period is 48 hours.

  • All equipment will be cleaned thoroughly before and after use, using effective and appropriate methods. If you would like more information on our cleaning practices please contact facilities. 

Once again, if you have any questions regarding any of our recent guidance don't hesitate to contact us at facilities@futureworks.ac.uk or call on 01612144600. 

Thank you for your continued co-operation.

The Facilities Team.
