Task 2: Arrangements for Moving
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I’ve called this meeting to discuss our new campus which is
opening fully¹ next year. We plan to move our students to the new facilities in groups, so please
listen carefully. They Agricultural Science students won’t move at all. As you know, their new
facilities were opened last year, and they are well placed for both laboratory and classroom space.
The Arts students, however, are a different case. History students are all moving, but unfortunately
Their teachers will be left in the old building, as the new office accommodation isn’t yet ready.
Better news for engineers. Your faculty², staff and students, are already in the process of moving to
the new campus. The lab is already in operation. The move for the engineers should be completed
next week. The old engineering building will be taken over by the Philosophy Department. The
Faculty of Law has been moved downtown. This leaves vacant the premises³ previously⁴ occupied
by the lawyers. The planning committee is accepting suggestions for the way school buildings
could be used. So, if you have further doubts or questions, please let us know. Thank you.
