  • REUBEN COLLEGE, UNIVERSITY of OXFORD Asbestos Abatement – Written Scheme of Investigation for Historic Building Record April 2021
    REUBEN COLLEGE, UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD Asbestos Abatement – Written Scheme of Investigation for Historic Building Record April 2021 A historic building record (HBR) has already been prepared in response to condition 3 of the main works listed building consent for the refurbishment of the Radcliffe Science Library, Abbot’s Kitchen and former Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory to establish the new home of Reuben College (ref. 20/00943/LBC). As per the condition and written scheme of investigation submitted, this comprises a level 3 record (analytical). It is anticipated that a historic building record condition will be attached to the asbestos abatement consent. It is therefore proposed that any findings as a result of this work are documented as an addendum to the existing HBR, which already records the interiors prior to any works. This will include details regarding the moulded profiles around the windows, which it will be necessary to remove prior to reinstating in a suitable lime plaster. The HBR prepared in response to condition 3 of listed building consent 20/00943/LBC has not yet been submitted in order for the condition to be discharged. In order to create a coherent site archive, the original HBR and addendum required as a result of any new findings during the asbestos abatement works will be submitted together in order to discharge the existing condition on 20/00943/LBC and anticipated condition for the abatement works LBC. Areas concerned: lower ground and ground floors of the Jackson wing, between the glazed link and the threshold with the Hooke entrance hall (refer to FJMT drawing 4-A-70310).
