RAG Commentary
Specialist Teaching Spaces returns to Amber as we now have confirmation that we can spend this year's budget. It remain Amber as we still have some logistic issues to sort which will be resolved in the next month. This resolution will take into account the inevitable delays in getting access to the campus and the prospect of budgeting over multiple academic years. Room designs and equipment purchase orders are in place so that when we do understand the length of delay better we will have completed the preparatory work. Additionally Remote Support requires some work to get the representative data required to do meaningful development. Again we expect to resolve this in early June.
