In Oggy's absence today I chaired Accomodation Management Group, which is a meeting with representatives from Hospitality and Accomodation Services at the University, Guild staff and officers.
Some interesting things came up which I thought would be worth blogging about...
-> We discussed the refurbishment of Tennis Courts in the summer. Every flat in Centre Court will get new windows. Half of the flats will be fully refurbished (the rents will reflect this- with the half that aren't included will pay less rent)
-> The Community Warden Scheme has been given funding to continue operating
-> HAS have made a deal with Ask 4 and are increasing bandwidth in all University residences
-> A Starbucks branch will be opening in the new Muirhead Tower. The Guild will be hosting a forum with Starbucks, hopefully during Culture Festival
-> It was reported that it will be 5-7 years before the redevelopment of Chamberlain is complete. The first stage is going to be started soon, which involves getting approval for the "vision" from University Council and appointing consultants to take the project forward. The Guild will be involved thoughout the whole process.
