Answer

Construction work will take place on the new Medical School and Psychology teaching spaces within the Murray Building from Monday 9 January 2023. Building work should finish by 5pm each day so the evening study times within Library@Murray will remain unaffected by construction noise. All building work to the upper levels is due to complete by September 2023. If you would like to find out more or send comments regarding the building work please contact the University Estates and Facilities team on 0191 515 3366 or email: estatesandfacilities.helpdesk@sunderland.ac.uk
