We refer to your official information request dated 16 June 2024:
“I am writing to request under the OIA:
1. For each of the Halls of Residence:
a. Information on any significant construction or maintenance work that will
affect residents during the 2025 academic year.
b. The year of and results of the most recent %NBS seismic assessment.
c. Any seismic concerns that have been identified since 2016.
2. For those Halls of Residence with precast concrete floor construction, the year
of and results of the most recent Detailed Seismic Assessment (DSA).
3. For those Halls of Residence that have had seismic concerns identified,
information on remedial work undertaken and post-remediation %NBS.
I am requesting this information for a student who will be attending VUW in
2025, who wishes to make informed decisions relating to their personal safety
and avoid disruption to their living arrangements.”
