<b>Subject:</b> Assembly Hall (RC/471) and University Centre (UC/201)- Furniture Configuration

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Colleagues,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Following concerns expressed in respect of the seating configuration in the Royal College Assembly Hall (RC/471), I write to remind departments that the standard furniture configuration for this room is with
desks laid out in parallel lines facing the teaching wall. This is illustrated in the online Learning Services room description resource below;<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><a href="http://www.learningservices.strath.ac.uk/avfacilities/roomresults.asp?building=any&category=any&Submit=Show+Results&roomField=RAssHall">Room Search - Assembly Hall Set Up</a><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Similarly, the University Centre (UC/201) standard furniture configuration is also with desks laid out in parallel lines facing the teaching wall. Again, illustrated in the online Learning Services room description
resource below;<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.learningservices.strath.ac.uk/avfacilities/roomresults.asp?menu1=University+Centre&roomField=UC201&findRoom=Show+Room+Details">Room Search - University Centre Set Up</a><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">The reason behind the current seating arrangement in these rooms is to accommodate the requirements of the majority of teaching activity allocated and also allows for the class test activity which take place
in both locations throughout teaching weeks. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">If there is a requirement for the seating arrangements to be altered, it is the responsibility of those making the change to return the furniture to its original configuration.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I’d appreciate if this communication could be disseminated to staff making use of the rooms.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I recognise that that this is not ideal, however, given the dual usage of the rooms and limitations in support resource, this approach should minimise disruption to the majority of those making use of RC/471
& UC/201 for both teaching and class tests.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">If you require clarification or further information, please do not hesitate to contact me.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Best regards,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
