Overview
Background
Ensure the upgrade of student computer lab, teaching and meeting room PC's across the College estate. This year's project will review measures that have been taken in response to Covid-19, such as more students with their own laptops or students using the long-term laptop loan scheme, as well as the changes that took place last year to enable hybrid teaching and learning, to help determine the best approach for the replacements.
Scope
Due to more students having their own laptops or making use of the long-term laptop loan scheme, the project will look at the feasibility of reducing numbers of College PCs in drop in spaces (i.e. not bookable teaching spaces) and providing alternative facilities, such as additional power sockets on desks to allow the students to charge their portable devices. As rooms are identified, they will be added to the lists below.
Computer Labs
Kennedy Tower 6th Floor - 4 computers
Vet Study Landscape - 19 computers
Vet Quiet Study Room (1.30) - 5 computers
Vet HfSA Room F33 - 6 (or 8) computers
Chancellor's Building Library - 47 computers
St John's Hospital - 8 computers
Teaching/Meeting Rooms
35 computers currently proposed. This list will be confirmed shortly.
Objectives and Deliverables
To replace the PCs in the above areas within a timely manor and with the least amount of inconvenience to students and staff. To identify alternative facilities that can be added to some drop-in spaces to allow easier use of portable devices.
