Facilities Management advises that the section of the tunnels from the Science building to Doyle-Barnes House (Paton College Tunnels) will be closed to pedestrians starting on Friday, August 14

This closure is required to complete excavation works to facilitate tunnel re-waterproofing. It is expected that this section of tunnel will be reopened as of Friday, August 28. A further communication will be issued if there is a change to this re-opening date. Read more regarding planned tunnel work on the Facilities Management website
