From tomorrow, Monday, 6th July 2009, everyone entering the university campus will have their temperature screened. This is part of the University's preparedness plan in the face of the rising H1N1 cases in Brunei Darussalam.

5 screening points will be in operation:

1. Chancellor Hall - At the lobby
2. Administration Building - At the foyer
3. Central Lecture Theaters - At the foyer (ground floor)
4. Institute of Medicine - At the main entrance
5. Library - At the main entrance

The number of screening points will be adjusted according to needs ~ We are currently on a long break and the new semester will start on 25th July 2009.

As part of the standard operating procedure, those with temperature above 38 degree Celsius or exhibiting any of the H1N1 symptoms (runny nose, cough, sore throat, difficulty in breathing, joint pains, headache, dizziness, diarrhea or vomiting) will be given a face mask and advised to go to the nearest health centre immediately.

For more up-to-date news on H1N1 in Brunei Darussalam, please visit the Ministry of Health Website and UBD Website.

The nursery is located in a small corner just next to the university's sports complex and the main storage building. The area is naturally shady due to the presence of big tress and this helps protect the young plants. Since the university have a separate landscaping contract for maintenance of its grounds, the nursery supplies plants mainly for indoor areas and as added decor for UBD functions. The university directly employ 4 staff to maintain the nursery and all the indoor plants within campus.

Today we received the second container of furniture for the IM building. Two more containers will arrive tomorrow. I was informed that everyone from the supplier's company will be working extra hours in the next few days installing and fixing the furniture. Very efficient! The dateline for moving into the new building is less than 2 weeks away.
