Creating the Intelligent Campus (London, Birkbeck College)
Monday 29th September 2008Birkbeck College, London
This informal, interactive, event focused on two key issues for tomorrow's Estate. Should all future Estates activities be carried out on a common Internet Protocol (IP) platform? And will this, plus the crucial need to design IT requirements into all new and refurbished buildings from the start to facilitate ‘virtual learning', mean that Estates and IT departments have to work more closely together, and perhaps even merge?
The event featured a presentation from Ave Maria University, a new institution in Florida which is seen as a ‘leading edge' intelligent campus in the US. The University says that this has created significant space, cost and energy savings.
The presentation on Integrated Facilities Management and IT at Ave Maria University, Naples, Florida by Bryan Mehaffey, Vice President of Technology and Systems, Ave Maria University, is too large (17MB) to post but can be downloaded from here.
