For all information about keeping safe on campus Research Equipment has moved to another department If a bookable PC does not have an advance booking, it will still be available on a first come first served basis. An i5 processor will give you more processing power and is useful if you are running design software (Adobe CC for example) or video editing software (such as Final Cut Pro). The Creative Media Centre does not provide spare / extra memory cards (all cameras come with either 1 or 2 memory cards depending on make / model). If a bookable space without IT is available you can use the space but please be aware that if another user books the space you will need to relocate to another available space or a non-bookable area.

Students will not be able to collect equipment without an approved Risk Assessment (if the activity is not covered by the Green RA form)
