What Are Your Top Tips..
...For a successful new build? For embedding IT? For installing technology?
Having a clear idea about how you want that space to be used. Thinking how you might want students to work in that space and how you might want the tutors to enable them to interact with the space and the technology. In this case it involved thinking about multiple uses (teaching, staff development and meetings).
Not ignoring the low tech solutions was key e.g. the dry whiteboards so when you have groups of students in there, and tasks assigned, each group can work on a board at the same time.
