As part of this summer’s campus improvement programme, Estates & Commercial Facilities and ICT Services have upgraded the groupwork facilities in the David Chiddick Building at the request of the Learning Spaces Group and SMT. 

There are two elements to the upgrade:

1. Five new groupwork tables in the Learning Lounges

In the Learning Lounges, there are five new D-shaped tables for groupwork – one on the ground floor, two on the first floor, and two on the second floor. Each table has six comfortable chairs and is positioned in front of one of the large Samsung LCDs so you can work on presentations, search for information, or plug in your own laptops. We’ve rearranged the soft seating in the Learning Lounges so that all of the much-loved sofas and chairs are still available.

2. Permanent AV now in all ten Group Rooms

The ten bookable Group Rooms in the building are all now equipped with permanent AV equipment (whereas previously, mobile AV equipment was shared between rooms). This makes it easy to just turn up and use booked space without having to arrange AV equipment separately.

How to access the new and improved groupwork facilities

All of these new and improved facilities are available to all University of Lincoln students and staff.

To access the five new groupwork tables in the Learning Lounges, simply go into the building and log in with your normal University username and password. There are more detailed user guides on posters next to each of the LCD monitors.

To book any of the ten Group Rooms in the building, please complete the room booking form in the Timetabling & Room Bookings area on the Portal. You can also check real-time room availability across the campus before booking.
