FeedbackEthos andAtmosphereSummary of key points- The move to
one site will create a better service to learners and the
community- It will improve communication, team work and efficiency-
The new campus design should celebrate and support curriculum
strengths- The building should be open to everyone and represent
the organisational values of social responsibility and community
inclusion- It should have a welcoming entrance area with a cafe bar
and gallery areas 01- Discrete help points for information, advice
and guidance should be easily accessible- The building should be as
green as possible- Bike racks should be relocated from ClifdenKey1
