Building 27 (Chemistry) has currently been evacuated following an unscheduled fire alarm.

Crowds emerging from the lecture theatres within are being directed to wait behind the library for further instruction.

Sneaking past security, who are currently blocking all entrances to the building, The Tab found that it is all a false alarm, set off by contractors.

A student told the Tab:

I can’t believe the University plan construction in the most important and stressful time of the student year!

The question then remains – Should the university tolerate contractor errors at such an important time for students? Last year we had the downtime of Sussed, and now student’s final revision lectures are being disrupted.

Will they ever just let us study in peace?

Have you been affected by this disruption? Let us know in the comments!Screen_Shot_2013-01-08_at_13_16_17

    An institution with >40000 users will always have contractors somewhere. Yes, it’s unfortunate a lecture may have been disrupted for 20 mins but if they weren’t doing improvement works I expect ths Tab would be the 1st people to complain they couldn’t see what the 9k fees were used for. All building work can’t take place in 3 months of the year.

    Jesus. I don’t know how I’d pass my exams without going to the essential revision lectures.

    Would you have written this garbage if there had been a real fire in which someone had been injured? Total moron! Stop procrastinating and get revising for whatever sub standard degree you’re doing.
