Fire in Law building, everyone out safely

Updated Friday 13 March 2026

Level 2 of Building 810 will remain closed until further notice, as further assessment and remedial work are required.

The rest of Building 810 will reopen on Monday (16 March).

This means any classes, workshops, seminars, or events scheduled to take place on Level 2 will need to move to an alternative location or format. Staff will confirm arrangements to students impacted through Canvas.

Canvas will have the most up-to-date information about any changes to teaching or events originally planned in this location.

If you do not have activities scheduled in Building 810, no action is required.

Further information will be provided on this page as it becomes available.
