Report by Alan Gilchrist

• AV equipment and furniture from Chancellor's Elsie Inglis lab has been transported over to 40 George Square for reuse in their rooms.

• Tests have been carried out for the move of AV equipment from Vet School room 1.21 to  room 1.26.  Plan is to transmit video wirelessly between rooms rather than request new infrastructure cabling.

• Quotes have been requested for smaller (supply only) AV equipment with a plan to raise the purchase orders in early February.
• Request to visit the Anatomy teaching lab has been raised, but no date has been confirmed yet.
