The ground floor is being restructured to provide a more logical layout of the teaching areas; from September, the Engineering and Digital Media subject areas will each have their own focus. The Multimedia C and Digital Systems laboratories will be relocated into enlarged areas, and new work benches and seats will add to the feeling of spaciousness.<br \/>\nA further major improvement is that all of our teaching laboratories are now air-conditioned.  We are also getting a new, modern lift to replace the old manual-door model, which was installed some 40 years ago.<br \/>\nOn top of all this building work, we are also purchasing a substantial amount of new equipment.  The new Engineering laboratory will benefit from state-of-the-art test equipment, thanks to generous sponsorship from National Instruments; and new, high-speed, 19\u201d, flat-panels monitors will complement the high-spec computers in our Multimedia and Audio-Visual laboratories.<br \/>\nOur computing infrastructure is also being dramatically upgraded, with a new 30 Terabyte file store, accessed via a one Gigabit network connection, running throughout the teaching laboratories.<br \/>\nIn all, around half a million pounds is being spent.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During this summer, the Department of Electronics is undergoing a major refurbishment of its teaching laboratories.
