The Oculus is open and in full use by our campus community. This is the first time our campus has ever seen a building dedicated completely to teaching.
There are two large state-of-the-art tiered lecture theatres, 12 other top quality flexible teaching spaces, study areas and a café.
Drop-in Sessions
We're hosting two drop-in sessions within the new Oculus building. These sessions are aimed at lecturers wishing to get familiar with the teaching equipment available within the building. Every room is equipped with a touch panel control system, laser projectors, visualisers, radio mics, wireless presentation and lecture capture. We want you to make the most of these facilities and the AV team will be around to answer any questions, as well as let you get hands on with the equipment.
The AV team will be joined by colleagues from ITS Academic Technology and IATL. They will be offering advice on the use of the tools and utilising the flexible teaching space.
The two sessions will be held as follows:
Week 3 - Wednesday 19th October - Room OC1.06 - 12-3pm
Week 4 - Wednesday 26th October - Room OC0.02 - 12-2pm
