Futures House Fire – Building Update
We have continued to make good progress this week with investigations, inspections and testing following the fire, to allow the safe occupation of as much of the building as possible, as quickly as reasonably practicable.
The safety of everyone using the building remains our priority. Before allowing areas to be reoccupied, it is essential that critical life-safety systems, including the fire alarm and emergency lighting, are functioning appropriately. We have also been carrying out inspections and testing to identify any safety issues arising from the fire and to determine how any remaining issues can be safely managed in the short term while permanent repairs are undertaken.
Many of these investigations and tests have now been completed. Subject to receiving and reviewing the outstanding results and confirmations, we are hopeful that much of the building will be able to reopen for occupation shortly.
Reoccupation is likely to be phased, and some areas of the building will remain out of bounds while further investigations and repairs are completed. Tenants should also be aware that some internal environmental systems may initially operate below their normal level of performance while remedial works continue.
We will continue to provide further updates as soon as we can confirm the next steps and anticipated timescales.
