See table below.
NB it is expected that Fellows/staff will continue to have access to offices throughout the vacation and therefore the alternative space is provided only for quieter working. We will not be moving any furniture and staff will be asked to use furniture that is already in place in the alternative spaces. HODs should discuss with staff and agree arrangements which may include working from home. It should also be borne in mind that noisy work is likely to be concentrated at the start of the vacation so disturbance will be limited during this period.
