IT Suite Extension Project in Daphne Du Maurier (Penryn Campus) – Monday 16 June to Friday 26 September 2025
Work is taking place in Daphne du Maurier (DDM) to create a new 30 person IT suite (3038), that interconnects with room 3037 so that there is sufficient space for 65 people and the rooms can be used concurrently as a larger suite.
This work will impact rooms 3037 and 3038, the access stairs from Exchange Courtyard to DDM spine and areas surrounding the rooms. Please note that the rooms will be closed for the duration of the work, and access will be limited after 4pm between floors via access stairs.
As the internal strip out of DDM 3037 and breaking through to 3038 is now underway (16 June), some noise and dust is expected throughout. The affected areas are DDM3, in and around 3037 and 3038, and DDM2 may also experience some noise. Our contractors are attempting to keep this to a minimal and will be cleaning up daily. Please be aware that the internal access stairs are being used, however for the duration of the work the removal of building waste will be limited to after 16:00pm on a Friday afternoon.
The refurbishments are part of the Penryn 2.0 project that aims to enhance infrastructure to build on strengths in research excellence and the potential for student growth in Cornwall.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Estates Helpdesk on 01326 255686 or EstatesHelpdesk@fxplus.ac.uk.
