鈥淭hanks to the hard work of HMS staff, students, and contractors, the road to recovery is proceeding quickly and there will be minimal disruption for students.
鈥淲e have architects ready for the restoration and students can look forward to some fresh teaching and research areas, including a well-equipped Student Learning Centre that was under construction at the time of flooding,鈥� she said.
Around 300 new HMS students will begin their studies when the 2011 university year begins on Monday, 28 February.
