Specialised spaces

Since 2008, Learning Space Support has managed the University’s central infrastructure for digital signage and AMX Room Manager.

Central timetable system

Activities in shared spaces are scheduled via the central timetable system. Building supervisors and security staff are exclusively responsible for opening and closing these spaces, according to the published timetable, which they receive each week from the Timetable Office.

Learning Precincts

Since 2002, we have worked with Timetabling and Venue Management Office to organise the portfolio of shared learning spaces into "learning precincts" that make sense in terms of disciplinary-based differences in teaching and learning styles.

Room maintenance

A detailed maintenance regime is in place for all equipment in shared learning spaces. Maintenance is a shared responsibility between Learning Space Support and Property and Campus Services. Maintenance of the room fabric and fittings is the responsibility of Property and Campus Services.

Overall strategic direction

Our learning environment is continuously reviewed in response to:

Minimum equipment specifications for each room type are updated each semester as we deploy more modern equipment in response to student and academic requirements.
