THE TOOLS FOR THE JOB:
TEACHING WITH TECHNOLOGY


Managing, Delivering and Supporting
Lecture Room Services for the Multimedia Age

INTRODUCTION

In 1994, as part of its 2-campus Estates strategy, LMU established a plan to build a Learning Centre (Integrated Library, computing, and audio visual and media production services), and five lecture theatres within a listed building. At that time, the Beckett Park Campus had no lecture theatres or large teaching spaces, yet within two years was planned to be the major site of the University in terms of numbers of students.

The creation of the lecture theatres faced a particular problem: providing appropriate accommodation and modern technology whilst retaining the features of the original Edwardian architecture.
