## Notice

Currently, both buildings and associated areas are secured with the assistance of a security licensed & trained K9 dog unit comprising of a trained guard and a dog. This is to deter anyone from entering the dangerous environment that both buildings pose to anyone that may enter unnecessarily. Regular patrols are needed to ensure that no access is gained.
