UCU has received a large number of concerns surrounding the construction of the Centre for Student Life from staff who are either based around Park Place or who have children in the University Nursery which is right next to the proposed construction. Many are worried about the impact the construction will have on their ability to work and all are also concerned about the potential health risk of the levels of noise and dust that the construction will generate, especially on the very young children who attend the nursery.

UCU is insisting that there is adequate monitoring equipment for measuring noise and dust levels around the site as well as unrestrained access to this equipment.
