Have your say on our Education Spaces

Last updated on 9 September 2019

We are inviting our students that have stayed with us this summer to have their say on our Education Spaces on campus. Join us on the 26 July to share your views on our teaching spaces on campus and contribute towards a future strategy that will be developed.

We will also provide you with an opportunity to deliver feedback on a range of issues, including:

• The form and function of space;

• Location, scale and ownership; and

• Suggestions on the how the spaces might be made more appropriate to student and staff needs.

Three separate workshop sessions have been planned for Wednesday 26th July. If you are interested in attending, please complete the form at the link below and indicate which session you would like to attend; we will then confirm with a formal calendar invitation.
