Dear all, You may or may not have received the below communication from the university regarding the building closures on the 2nd, 3rd and week beginning 6th Jan. I spoke with our HoS this morning and she is also in the dark regarding this but it has little implication for CELTIC as we the labs will remain fully closed until the 13th January 2025. During this time there will be no access to the chemistry rooms or to the instruments.

Main Building hosts the Science Library and thus my understanding is that it will be open on 2nd-3rd January, as planned. I cannot confirm that there will be heating in the rest of the building. If you are able to reorganise your activities to work from home on 2nd-3rd and in the week beginning 6th January, as requested, please do so. We will cancel Staff forum on 8th January – there will be little more to update on after this week’s Forum, anyway. I will be in touch with others that I have meetings with. If you have concerns about the building opening with respect to your activities, or you have a specific need to be in the building during extended closure (not the planned closure), please do discuss these with John next week. Best wishes; Dymuniadau gorau Jenny ******************************************************************************* Jennifer Pike (hi/ei) Pennaeth Ysgol Jennifer Pike (she/her) Head of School Ysgol Gwyddorau'r Ddaear a'r Amgylchedd School of Earth and Environmental Sciences Prifysgol Caerdydd Cardiff University Prif Adeilad, Plas-y-Parc Main Building, Park Place Caerdydd, CF10 3AT Cardiff, CF10 3AT Cymru, DU Wales, UK Ffôn: +44 (0)29 2087 5181 Phone: +44 (0)29 2087 5181 Ebost: pikej@caerdydd.ac.uk<mailto:pikej@caerdydd.ac.uk> Email: pikej@cardiff.ac.uk<mailto:pikej@cardiff.ac.uk> Mae'r Brifysgol yn croesawu gohebiaeth yn Gymraeg neu'n Saesneg.

You may have already seen and pledged to save energy through our Christmas switch off<https://staff-enews.cardiff.ac.uk/t/t-l-siutidt-ojuiilyc-d/>. To make further savings, and to minimise the impact on staff and students, we’ve made the decision to extend building closures, for most of our buildings, to 6 January 2025. Exclusions The following buildings will continue to open on 2 January: * Centre for Student Life<https://staff-enews.cardiff.ac.uk/t/t-l-siutidt-ojuiilyc-b/> * University Libraries<https://staff-enews.cardiff.ac.uk/t/t-l-siutidt-ojuiilyc-n/> * buildings that are used by tenants, i.e. sbarcIspark<https://staff-enews.cardiff.ac.uk/t/t-l-siutidt-ojuiilyc-p/> * Little Scholars Nursery<https://staff-enews.cardiff.ac.uk/t/t-l-siutidt-ojuiilyc-x/> * other areas where essential research access and support services are required, such as laboratories We’d also ask that where possible you consider working from home until Monday 13 January. We are confident that this will have minimal impact on staff and students and will maximise our cost savings. This does not mean that the University is closed. If you need or want to work on campus you can. Please speak with your line manager in the first instance so arrangements can be made.

Efallai eich bod eisoes wedi gweld ein cynllun Diffodd y Nadolig<https://staff-enews.cardiff.ac.uk/t/t-l-siutidt-ojuiilyc-a/> ac wedi addo arbed ynni. Er mwyn gwneud rhagor o arbedion, ac i leihau'r effaith ar staff a myfyrwyr, rydyn ni wedi penderfynu ymestyn y cyfnod y bydd y rhan fwyaf o'n hadeiladau ar gau tan 6 Ionawr 2025. Eithriadau Bydd yr adeiladau canlynol yn parhau i agor ar 2 Ionawr: * Canolfan Bywyd y Myfyrwyr<https://staff-enews.cardiff.ac.uk/t/t-l-siutidt-ojuiilyc-f/> * Llyfrgelloedd y Brifysgol<https://staff-enews.cardiff.ac.uk/t/t-l-siutidt-ojuiilyc-z/> * adeiladau sy'n cael eu defnyddio gan denantiaid, e.e. sbarc|spark<https://staff-enews.cardiff.ac.uk/t/t-l-siutidt-ojuiilyc-v/> * Meithrinfa Ysgolheigion Bach<https://staff-enews.cardiff.ac.uk/t/t-l-siutidt-ojuiilyc-e/> * ardaloedd eraill lle mae mynediad yn hanfodol ar gyfer ymchwil a’r gwasanaethau cymorth, megis labordai Dyma hefyd ofyn i chi ystyried gweithio gartref tan ddydd Llun 13 Ionawr lle bo hynny'n bosibl. Rydyn ni’n hyderus na fydd hyn yn cael effaith fawr ar staff a myfyrwyr a bydd yn ein helpu i wneud y mwyaf o'n harbedion ar gostau ynni. Nid yw hyn yn golygu bod y Brifysgol ar gau.
