As you will have noticed, construction work at Luka Jantjie House began this week. It takes place in three phases and will be completed by the start of the academic year in 2020. The construction work is being undertaken by two separate women-owned construction companies, Shebang Construction and KimKaho.

Pedestrian and vehicular entrances, and access to the campus will be changed and parking will be severely constrained.
Signage will be put up to guide you to the new (temporary) access points.
Pedestrian Entrance
Students, staff and visitors will now use the pedestrian entrance to the North Campus which is located across from the Pick ’n Pay Centre on Chapel Street.
Vehicular Entrance
The dual-lane entrance on Hentrich Street (to the north) will be closed off and a new, temporary gate has been installed just a little further down from that entrance, across from the De Beers building. Please exercise caution when entering and exiting since this is now a smaller access point then you have used to date.
Access to Luka Jantjie House
Access to the Luka Jantjie House building will only be possible from the north side (De Beers building side) since the current access from the east and west sides will be closed.
Staff who park in the basement can still gain access up the stairs and into the courtyard.
Parking
Because of the limited parking on the North Campus, staff and visitors are encouraged to use on-street parking or the parking at the Public Library (off Chapel Street).
Visitors
Please ensure that you give your visitors clear details about where to park (on-street) and how to gain access to the building. It may help to meet your visitors upon their arrival and then escort them to the relevant meeting venue or office.
Emergency Assembly Areas
New emergency assembly areas will be designated and that information will be sent to you in due course.
Construction work necessarily causes disruption to our normal activities and we ask the SPU community for their patience and cooperation during this temporary period as we develop a more exciting North Campus.
Thank you for your understanding.
