With the opening of University Square in May, work to complete the Green Heart by late 2018 – early 2019 is progressing quickly. Over the next few weeks work will commence adjacent to the library terrace to connect the Square and library to the rest of the Green Heart. We hope these works will take a few weeks to complete over the summer. During this time we will be:
- Removing the bamboo area and creating a compound so works can take place safely.
- Laying new paving around the steps but, one side of the steps will always be accessible and the ramp will remain open during these works.
- Replacing the ramp (once step 2 is completed) with an accessible pathway that connects to the Green Heart.
Once we’re done, this new area will provide additional terrace space alongside a connected and fully accessible pathway. If you have any questions, or comments during these works, please contact us on greenheart@contacts.bham.ac.uk.
