A Campus with technology ‘embedded’ into the very fabric of the buildings and grounds requires: a) pedagogically sound set of design Principles for teaching and learning spaces and b) a clear statement of the Practical issues to be considered at the design stage.
Pedagogical What do we want to teach? How do we want to teach it? What can technology bring to it? Make Choices
Practical Issues Flexibility/Timing No single point of failure. Connectivity Power Disaster recovery/Business Continuity Integrated voice/data/video Mobility Ducting Integrated Network/Audio Visual/Printing Service Flexible furniture and room arrangements Leaning Space Design Invisible Technology that works
Learning Environments • Responding to the changing learning paradigm • Collaboration • Research networks
Wireless • Wireless airspace across campus • Who operates/owns? • 2G –> 3G • In building delivery -> site wide • Multi-operator 'plug and play' environment?
Telephony • Desk v VOIP v wireless ….. • Phone /PDA/ Mobile device
Integration • Buildings Management Systems • Access Control • Security and Surveillance • Fire safety • Smart card • Access & identification, • Library, • Cash card – food, vending, retail, sports, …..
Transition • Timeframes • Going to get more complex • Need to continue operations on existing sites as we role out new campus • Do you design to support legacy or abandon and start afresh?
