Start/End Date: Planning started in July 2005. Building finished in around Feb/March 2006.

What Are Your Top Tips..

...For a successful new build? For embedding IT? For installing technology?

Make sure it is the pedagogy that drives the development of the space not the technology.

Don't make technology intrusive.

Consider maximising the flexibility for chairs, tables, equipment etc. so as not to be restricted in the space.

If you can read this text, it means you are not experiencing the Plone design at its best. Plone makes heavy use of CSS, which means it is accessible to any internet browser, but the design needs a standards-compliant browser to look like we intended it. Just so you know ;)
