Leaving group space

When you have finished using any group space please ensure that you leave it clean and tidy, remove any rubbish and return furniture back to its original position. Report any problems to staff in the iZone. All projectors must be turned off using the wall/lecturn switch but NOT at the off switch on the projector itself as this will also turn off the fan and can cause damage to the equipment.
