https://padlet.com/rosieellis1/j1ryh16zu28p7v3z This padlet is a space for us to share ideas about how to best organise our spaces in the new building. We want your input to make this a welcoming and effective working environment that suits us all.   The coloured floor plan shows how we are spatially split across floor 1 of the building. All your ideas are welcome on how we can use this space in the best way possible. Some things to consider: do we want dedicated quiet areas or more lively/ louder areas, prefer to seat staff by research group or by role? Would people prefer their own dedicated desk space or move around depending on what your day looks like e.g. full of online meetings, wanting to problem solve & chat with others, need to finish that report? If you have lots of online meetings and how could we best manage this?   Feel free to comment on the images, ask questions, add notes with your own thoughts and ideas.

Informal spaces where a few people could sit and chat through ideas would be good (so that you don't disturb colleagues).]]> 2023-02-01 10:23:03 UTC https://padlet.com/rosieellis1/j1ryh16zu28p7v3z/wish/2464352232 zoelingard https://padlet.com/rosieellis1/j1ryh16zu28p7v3z/wish/2464353712 A space to sit and relax with food/drink and have a chat would be good]]> 2023-02-01 10:24:25 UTC https://padlet.com/rosieellis1/j1ryh16zu28p7v3z/wish/2464353712 zoelingard https://padlet.com/rosieellis1/j1ryh16zu28p7v3z/wish/2464356462 If all staff have headsets then online meetings can work at your desk (providing we all have computers with cameras etc).
