My only concern is that the quiet area doesn't seem sound insulated from the rest (ie it is still open plan). Not only would noise leakage be distracting but it may discourage people from using the space as intended. ]]> 2022-06-28 11:46:50 UTC https://padlet.com/nkathrada2/3jflketof9lxzjk3/wish/2232393633 Is there going to be an app-based booking system a) for desk space and b) for 1-2-1 meeting with student rooms? a_johns2 https://padlet.com/nkathrada2/3jflketof9lxzjk3/wish/2232395016 2022-06-28 11:49:37 UTC https://padlet.com/nkathrada2/3jflketof9lxzjk3/wish/2232395016 What is going to happen to all the individual office space on each floor in the biz school? Will this be repurposed for classrooms? Group study areas? a_johns2 https://padlet.com/nkathrada2/3jflketof9lxzjk3/wish/2232395598 2022-06-28 11:50:39 UTC https://padlet.com/nkathrada2/3jflketof9lxzjk3/wish/2232395598 will more than one screens be available if needed? https://padlet.com/nkathrada2/3jflketof9lxzjk3/wish/2232483877 2022-06-28 13:47:52 UTC https://padlet.com/nkathrada2/3jflketof9lxzjk3/wish/2232483877 We all have our own library of books, which we'll continue to want to access. Would be happy to share lockable shelving space with other colleagues - but do need space to store them on campus.

Will there be lockable storage for all my books? Happy to share the book storage with other colleagues but would like it to be lockable. Thank you]]> 2022-06-29 08:19:39 UTC https://padlet.com/nkathrada2/3jflketof9lxzjk3/wish/2233236287 Participants https://padlet.com/nkathrada2/3jflketof9lxzjk3/wish/2233237317 Is it possible for us to know who the members of the space are? It would be important for us to start a sense of community]]> 2022-06-29 08:21:37 UTC https://padlet.com/nkathrada2/3jflketof9lxzjk3/wish/2233237317 enhanced tech? https://padlet.com/nkathrada2/3jflketof9lxzjk3/wish/2234219747 At the start of this project there was talk of enhanced Digital equipment such as lightweight laptops with improved processing power... and ipads. Is this still happening - if so when?]]> 2022-06-30 11:04:47 UTC https://padlet.com/nkathrada2/3jflketof9lxzjk3/wish/2234219747 I come by train from afar & stay 2-3 nights in Mcr to teach. I arrive with with luggage - currently I can leave this in my locked office - is there somewhere safe I can leave my belongings as I don't want to take a huge case/rucksack into lecture theatre? ...40*40 locker doesn't sound big enough for my situation? https://padlet.com/nkathrada2/3jflketof9lxzjk3/wish/2234560816 2022-06-30 20:42:57 UTC https://padlet.com/nkathrada2/3jflketof9lxzjk3/wish/2234560816 sorry late to all these discussions: where will the space be for the event / hospitality equipment currently in Cavendish (2 store rooms at present)? https://padlet.com/nkathrada2/3jflketof9lxzjk3/wish/2242515131 2022-07-13 09:14:29 UTC https://padlet.com/nkathrada2/3jflketof9lxzjk3/wish/2242515131 First Aid Service + Kits fernsting1 https://padlet.com/nkathrada2/3jflketof9lxzjk3/wish/2243343090 Hi, I'm a first aider. With the absence of desk phones, how can I be reached if first aid is required? In addition, first aiders have their own kits. Seeing the size of the lockers, the kit will take up the majority of it, leaving barely any space for personal items. Is it possible to access further space? ]]> 2022-07-14 10:19:27 UTC https://padlet.com/nkathrada2/3jflketof9lxzjk3/wish/2243343090 Monitors in Quiet Areas fernsting1 https://padlet.com/nkathrada2/3jflketof9lxzjk3/wish/2244060626 The plan sent over indicates all the desks in the quiet area will be just laptop based without the ability to use an additional monitor. Please could some plug in stations be made available in this area? ]]> 2022-07-15 09:49:49 UTC https://padlet.com/nkathrada2/3jflketof9lxzjk3/wish/2244060626 Teams status option? https://padlet.com/nkathrada2/3jflketof9lxzjk3/wish/2249225788 This is no doubt beyond the reach of this iniative but given this move towards hybrid working it would be great if we could have an option on Teams to set our status to 'on campus' & 'off campus' so we can know if colleagues are in, otherwise we risk losing collaborative sociability with this model compared to sharing offices. We'll inevitably resort more to online communications if we dont know if colleagues are in the shared workplace and dont want to wonder around the floor looking for them. ]]> 2022-07-25 10:22:34 UTC https://padlet.com/nkathrada2/3jflketof9lxzjk3/wish/2249225788 Will these questions be answered any time soon? fernsting1 https://padlet.com/nkathrada2/3jflketof9lxzjk3/wish/2249316812 2022-07-25 14:09:39 UTC https://padlet.com/nkathrada2/3jflketof9lxzjk3/wish/2249316812
