Thanks to everyone who responsed to my request for ideas and suggestions
regarding noise control and our pilot zoning of study floors.
We already have some of the things suggested such as bookable group study
rooms but find that these are in very heavy demand and the request for more
group study space comes up in all our surveys.
Other feedback included:
- thinking about how furniture is organised and having a maximum of 4 / 6
spaces per table
- the importance of using inductions to get the message across about what
behaviour is acceptable
- banning students who continually cause problems
- providing equipment such as smart boards to encourage the concept of
preparing for presentations etc rather than just a room to wait in until
the next lecture
- involving the Student Union in agreeing what is acceptable
- having extra zones for food and drink and more social activity
If anyone wants to contact me for more info please do so.
