Great progress being madeProgress has been good with the building. Bulk excavation is completed, although there is some level of 'moving stuff around' at the moment. The driveway has been dug to allow for an entrance to the basement of the building and sheet piling of the excavation will begin tomorrow with the first piers to be drilled from Monday 15th October.
People also continue to ask about the location on campus. If you can't visit then the next best thing is to look at the Google Earth image posted earlier. As an update, here's the view that resident's will have as they leave the building each morning to walk up the University Mall to classes or to undertake research.
A prime location on campus!

Wow - the end of an era seeing the social work buildings demolished. My wife Ruth and I both attended New College in the late 80s. She was a social worker and me an engineer. We were also involved in the Campus Bible Study training events (SOCM) that were held in the social work rooms every Tuesday night. I even preached at Unichurch one Easter in the main social work room.
In spite of the good memories it really was an ugly site. I'm proud to see New College developing a post graduate campus there!

Hi David, It's great to hear from you and to have one of your memories recorded on the Blog. It is very exciting to see the building under way and to contemplate just what the community will be like when it is finished. That will be my biggest challenge!
