The Modular Teaching Village is open from 8.00 am to 6.00 pm each weekday. Everyone who is in the building outside these hours must have completed the requisite training and signed the ‘Out of Hours’ book located in the main foyer. This is to ensure that in the event of a fire the emergency services will know for whom and where to search. If you are in the building at 6.00 p.m., please go to the foyer and sign the book. It is essential that anyone who is signed in does not leave without signing out.
All staff and postgraduate research students are required to complete fire awareness and fire marshal training annually.
