NOT THE LANGSIDE BLOG

( or it is at langsidecollege.blogspot.com )


Contractors Weekly Blog – w/c 14/5/07
As everyone can now see work is really progressing. We have finished the sewer diversion with the exception of the surfacing.
We will be continuing on with the excavation for the new carriageway and footpath this week and have now reached the point where we can no longer keep access to and from Valeview Terrace open as we will be carrying out excavation works there as well as diverting an electric cable.
The diversion route for pedestrians will be via the main entrance on Prospecthill Road and through the car park where the contractor’s compound is located. Please do not walk along the main road in the College and please allow an extra 5 minutes to get to classes on time.
We have noticed a drop in the number of vehicles using the car park and would like to thank all who have found alternative methods in getting to and from college and would ask that you keep this up for another couple of weeks when we should have most of the parking spaces in use again.
Once again we would thank you in advance for your co-operation and patience.

Updated Student//Zone
The Student//Zone section of the website has just been re-launched and is now an exciting and interactive way of communicating with all Langside students. With sections on the Student Association, Clubs, Events, Student Newsletter and Course Reps the website is a great way of keeping up to date with student affairs. Please encourage your students to visit the Student//Zone on a regular basis.
The Out & About section is a useful source of information for anyone new to Glasgow or visiting students/colleagues, with information about local accommodation, eating out etc.

We are always looking for feedback on the Student//Zone and welcome suggestions for inclusions or amendments. These should be sent to Kath Macfarlane, Student Development Coordinator, kmacfarlane@langside.ac.uk, extn. 3639.
