Recovery at The University of Queensland is moving ahead quickly with an army of staff, student and community volunteers and contractors rapidly signing off the high priority tasks.

Summer classes will resume at UQ on Thursday, January 20 with the majority of teaching facilities not affected at any campus.

At the UQ Gatton campus, owners have been reclaiming animals from the School of Veterinary Science, which was turned into a temporary Noah's Ark last week to house animals from the Lockyer Valley.

Images from the cleanup activities and veterinary hospital can be viewed in the slideshows below.
