New and Improved...

On Friday we opened the newly refurbished Library and Learning Resource Centre. The old one, for those who hadn't had the pleasure of visiting it, had remained undecorated since the 1970s when the building had been put up. So, the carpet was brown, the shelves were brown and the walls were of unpainted brown brick. Even the lights had gone brown over the years - so the whole impression was slightly pit-like and distinctly unwelcoming.

We've had the walls painted (it took 6 weeks and the College painters aren't speaking to us now!), new white shelving put in, the lighting renewed and a lovely new carpet - much more student friendly and an environment you actually want to stay in now.

Not one to miss a trick, I put out the collection tin and sponsorship forms and raised a further £70.00 for the trek!
