In case you didn't know, Trevs has been undergoing a massive refurb over the summer. This has meant the noise of contractors, their vehicles and no access to any facilities for the whole 3 months. So great was the time pressure that postgraduates and finalists were turfed out of their rooms for graduation week at the end of last term. As time passed the hardy and of resident postgrads began to hear rumours that despite doing one less block than planned, the refit was behind schedule.
By the start of July, there entire grund floor of college had no floorboards (as we found when we went exploring).
As september came around, news came that the builders would be working longer hours and then weekends in order to finish. Inside, college looked like a disaster area.
Now the builders are furiously working 24 hours a day to get the work finished. As of yesterday, most of the rooms were finished, but the landings and amenities were still nowhere near ready. The new postgrads are already here and the freshers will start arriving on Saturday. The worry now is what is the quality of the job going to be after they have rushed - we all remember the new windows that were put in 18 months ago that leaked straight away...
