Plaza Sky Sign – Bedford Park 

The Flinders University sign you can see from the Plaza (above The Tav) is being updated to feature the new Flinders logo, with work commencing on Wednesday 29 November and continuing all week. There will be a pedestrian exclusion zone in the Plaza at the base of the building, so please take care to follow redirections. 

Humanities Building façade repairs 

Repairs to the Humanities Building façade are underway and the blue scaffold you can see from the Plaza will be in place until project close on 17 December. Noisy work will be conducted out of business hours between Monday 20 November and Sunday 3 December. The Plaza ramp adjacent to the building will remain closed. Please take note of exclusion zones and follow detour directions. 

Central Library lift replacement 

Work has commenced to replace the northern lift in the Central Library. This three-month project will ensure a new, faster, more reliable lift, which is expected to be in operation by the end of February 2024. An alternative lift can be found at the southern end of the Central Library. These works will also affect the loading bay at the rear of the building. Deliveries now need to be made via the Hub lift or the southern Central Library lift. The ground floor emergency exit out to the loading bay will still be operational. 

Flinders Living footpaths 

Some footpaths around Flinders Living will be upgraded between now and the end of January 2024. Exclusion zones and pedestrian redirections will be in place, and a work compound will be set up in Car Park P22. If you use this area, be aware of increased vehicle and machinery traffic.
