New entrance canopies approved at Bucks Uni

Tuesday, 17 September 2024 07:00

Planners have approved changes to Buckinghamshire New university’s High Wycombe campus, which include fitting three new dark grey glass top canopies to cover the site’s main entrances.

Proposals also include the installation of an external fire escape staircase from the first floor to ground level with an external door at first floor level.

The university said the appointed contractor for the work would minimise noise and that the safety of students, staff and the general public was ‘always of paramount importance’.
