Lancaster's two universities, Morecambe Bay hospitals trust and Lancaster and Morecambe College have responded to the worries over the use of RAAC concrete in buildings.
Concerns were raised about RAAC - a lightweight concrete prone to collapse - in public buildings after it was revealed that 104 schools or settings across England were set to close or be disrupted due to safety fears.
RAAC is a lightweight concrete building material which began to be used mainly in public sector roof construction in the UK and parts of Europe in the 50s until the 90s, but the material has been found to have structural issues that means it begins to deteriorate after 40 or 50 years.
Lancaster University said they had been carrying out "ongoing regular building inspections and reviews of original buildings" which "have so far not identified any use of reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC)".
The university was built in the 1960s.
Around 40 hospital buildings across 23 trusts are currently understood to be affected by the lightweight panels.
Simon Corben, Director of Estates and Facilities at NHS England, said: “The NHS has undertaken significant work over the last four years to identify the extent of RAAC within hospitals and other trust buildings in England, putting in place a national programme to support Trusts with their mitigation, monitoring and eradication programmes, in line with expert guidance from the Institution of Structural Engineers.
“This guidance remains in place, and we have written to all local NHS trusts again to reiterate the need to ensure all recommended steps have been taken to maintain the safety of staff, patients and visitors.
“The NHS will provide regional co-ordination so that all sites continue to be fully supported with this critical work.”
Trusts which have already identified RAAC beams in their buildings have been told to plan for potential “RAAC failure, including the decant of patients and services where RAAC panels are present in clinical areas”, and to note the learnings from an “evacuation plan” that was tested in the East of England.
