The west side of George Fox car park will remain in use for staff parking using the new entrance/exit from George Fox Avenue.
During the compound setup George Fox Avenue will be temporarily narrowed to allow machinery access and a safe working area, traffic management will be in place. There will also be a pedestrian diversion in place along the footpath alongside the car park.

From Monday 18 November 2024 a one-way system will be in place northbound along South Drive from the junction of Alexandra Park Drive up to the east roundabout to enable the contractor to setup the site and construct the Net Zero Energy Centre. This one-way system will be in place until the project completes in Spring 2027.
From Monday 11 November 2024 part of the Woodland Trail will be closed along the east side of campus to facilitate tree felling. This will remain closed until December 2024; further communication will follow once it has re-opened.
There will be further disruption to campus as trenches are excavated for the installation of the new District Heat Network. Each section of District Heating Network will be under its own temporary traffic management arrangement, the first of these is scheduled to commence on 3 December 2024.
Further communication on these arrangements will follow as the project progresses.
