Currently based on three sites around Edinburgh, Queen Margaret is planning to relocate to the first new university campus for 21st century Scotland, on the south-east side of Edinburgh, by Musselburgh. The move to the new campus will be seamless, with relocation intended to take place during autumn 2007, subject to successful implementation of the planned development.
The new campus will be a vibrant new academic village with high-tech buildings and attractive landscaped spaces, featuring an innovative learning resource centre at the heart of the development.
Jim Bain, education resource centre manager, says: "We have 70 teaching rooms and lecture theatres at the new site, all of which are being equipped with high-tech audio video systems including projectors, smart boards, PC interfaces and central controllers. In order to cable this amount of equipment we needed a supplier that could deliver a range of tough and reliable products. We chose VDC because they have such an extensive range. Another major factor in our choice was the speed at which VDC could deliver."
