Cardiff University

Business Challenge

As part of the University’s strategy to cement its standing as one of the top 20 universities in the UK, the institution opened their brand-new e-Learning and e-Assessment Facility (eLEAF) in order to increase capacity for independent learning, progressive teaching and cutting-edge research. The space includes 165 new workstations, and thanks to its multifunctional zoning and sliding partition walls, it can accommodate a range of activities, from training and private study to small and large group teaching and practical classes. The AV brief for this new centre included a specific requirement for flexibility, intuitive screens that were easily accessible to both the students and lecturer, while the sound system needed to enable the lecturer to move freely around the room.

Students and lecturers now have access to an interactive AV system, huddle working pods, multimedia communications and imaging facilities, which enhance the overall student learning experience, and increase opportunities for interactive teaching activities for undergraduate and postgraduate students in bio-informatics, computer modelling based approaches, and data-driven biology.
