Rapid progress on Oxford's local computer room

This was the space allocated on level 1 just after the old offices had been cleared out on April 11th.

Since then the walls have been dry lined, the AC units and pipe work are in place.


Heavy electrical work is ongoing and the floor is being prepared.

Also the forth wall has been built.

We are hopeful that the room will be complete by the end of July.
The floor will be sealed this week prior to the false floor being installed. Electrical cabling will then commence.
