Completion Report

Project summary:

The project, following investigation of commercial products, successfully purchased and implemented a system allowing real time monitoring and reporting of study desk availability on the Lower Ground Floor of the Main Library.

The availability of these study spaces is being displayed to library users enhancing the student experience by providing a benefit to users seeking available study spaces on the Lower Ground Floor.

Resources:

Staff resource: 220 hours / 31.5 days in total

Total cost: £27,668.58

 

Key learning points:

  • Consider undertaking Procurement activities in timely manner when budget is to be spent in defined time frame.
  • Consult ISG Disability Advisor on project plans at an earlier stage.
  • Form Project Team at earlier stage.
  • Data Protection & Privacy Impact Assessment - without the assistance of the IoT project this could have been poorly executed.
  • Take decision about whether to consult or otherwise inform key stakeholders e.g. EUSA.
  • Project Support was essential in order to deliver the objectives - this Project Support was provided from within User Services.

Outstanding issues:

  • All unresolved operational issues were passed over to the Service Team.
