Post Occupancy: Changes Made As A Result Of Feedback
We are looking into the possibility of a portable polling system, so that users can try voting with smaller groups, and be more confident to then try polling in a Lecture Theatre environment.
Printers in the resource pods are being lowered to enhance accessibility.
Additional details have been added to the room booking system to allow users to make more measured decisions about the spaces they book.
Additional training sessions for students and staff have been provided on the equipment available.
Blinds to be added to certain rooms experiencing high levels of glare on the smartboard screens (all the flexirooms are glass).
The number of laptops is being increased due to very high demand (coming soon).
