Hi SCISters! ๐ŸŒป

The Facilities Management Team will be conducting aircon upgrading works at SCIS1 Level 3, and this would affect the use of Project Way from 8 Aug, Tuesday to 14 Aug, Monday from 8am to 5pm daily.

There will be no aircon provision on 8 Aug, and inconsistent aircon supply from 9 Aug to 11 Aug.

We apologise for the inconvenience caused, and strongly advise you to not leave your valuables unattended should you need to use Project Way during this period.

If you have any questions or require further clarification, please reach out to Rachel (@sushirach).
