Installing the real Cote kitchen vent

Cote's temporary metal kitchen extractor ducting is to be removed and replaced with a fitted smell free permanent alternative.  The work is already under way.

Temporary ducting still there, hiding behind the gate.


From the BEO:
Hello, just to say the Barbican Centre have advised that work will commence to change the orientation of the ventilation intake to cinema 3 in Beech Street, from the North side to the East side of the building. The temporary ducting is being removed, which the Centre advise should alleviate the problem with smells adjacent to staircase 64 at street level. The new grille will take air into the building, and not expel air out. The contractor wishes to commence work today, 20 November. They will need to erect a scaffold and whilst this is being erected, residents will not be able to exit the main door and turn left.  However, once this is erected they will be able to do so except when the works are taking place. The work should take about two or three days. If you have any further enquiries, I can contact Jim Turner at the Centre, but it appears that the Planning Department have been heavily involved, with this project, particularly with regard to alleviating the smells, and any possible noise implications. This is what has held the work up. An email broadcast is being sent out as we speak. Sorry for the short notice, on this occasion my fault, not the Barbican Centres!
