University of Northampton – Waterside Campus – Flexible Learning Spaces

Feedback

Although it has taken a lot to convince people that building a new campus from scratch, radically changing the way teaching spaces are laid out, the way people teach and how lessons are delivered the feedback has been very positive with staff and students already using the new systems in ways that hadn’t been anticipated; Individuals using a single screen across the entire campus delivering the same presentation ad hoc to various groups or using the entire suit of trolleys to present training to 200 staff in one space. The response to the new wayfinding kiosks has been fantastic with staff being enthusiastic about the new facility that saves time and confusion.

Why TOP-TEC?

A huge consideration for Northampton was TOP-TEC’s ability to customise a suite of products that fit their specific requirements with a company that was able to reliably reproduce each product consistently.

The university has been using TOP-TEC products for a long time, preferring to use steel lecterns over wooden varieties because of their durability and reliability. The University has tried to stick to an aesthetic and being able to customise the branding of their lecterns is a big advantage that enables them to bring every product in line with their brand identity.

Working with a British manufacturer who Is able to supply their products but also services that add value to the relationship such as warranty call outs and site visits.
