Hastings Lecture Theatre
This
is a purpose-built lecture room with tiered seating and desk space for 54
people. It incorporates a white board and ceiling mounted LCD projector.
Computer Lab
The
computer lab is equipped with 15 computers running Microsoft Windows.
They are networked with internet connection, Microsoft Office and a range of
specialist software relevant to conservation, such as GIS and population
management software. A colour
printer is also available. The room is used for live demonstration
of software for teaching purposes using a projector and screen.
Classroom
A
bright room with tables and chairs for up to 12 available for teaching or
meeting purposes is situated alongside the computer lab. Whiteboard and flip chart,
projection screen and LCD projector are available.
Library
There
is a well-stocked library containing books, published reports, unpublished
reports and dissertations, journals, newsletters and popular magazines.
Material is organised using the Dewey Decimal System and catalogued
electronically using Procite. It is therefore possible to do author, title and
keyword searches on books and locate individual issues of journals.
We
have current subscriptions to around 25 journals and receive numerous others
and newsletters on exchange or gratis.
The journal and serial collection is housed here in the aptly named 'Sir William Collins
Memorial Library' whilst the books, reports, current issues of journals and
reprints are kept in the 'Phillips Reference Library'. In addition, we have
online access to a further ~180 journals.
Six individual study booths for self-study are available together with a boardroom table and seating, large white board, comfy chairs and a photocopier.
Wireless Signal
A wireless internet signal is available throughout the Academy facilities.
Academic
and administration offices are on the upper floor above the Lecture Theatre.
