The college library is being supported with scaffoldingLeaders at Petroc College in north Devon said the discovery of RAAC in two buildings was a "major concern"It is currently the only known case of the defective concrete being used in Devon and CornwallLeaders at Cornwall and Devon's only education establishment found to have defective concrete, known as RAAC, have said it has caused a "major concern".
The library facilities have been moved to a different part of the college while work continues to make its permanent building safe.Ahead of the start of the school year nearly 150 schools in England were told to shut buildings made with the material, unless they put in place safety measures. He said the material "has a risk that if water gets through to the supporting beam that it could then come down on us"."What we've done on structural engineers' advice is put in a complete timber and a frame, so effectively the RAAC is no longer supporting the roof," he said.
