Hello again,

This Friday we are having a feedback meeting with students who may have mobility issues or who may have learning differences. The project team is really keen to hear what you have to say about the proposed new layout; you may be able to highlight an issue that we haven’t yet thought of. We will be looking at the layout, the proposed colour scheme and some furniture picks. Building regulations do cover the basic mobility issues that will arise but we also want to consider things like sensory and hearing issues. We can only do this with your help.

The meeting will take place at 10am in the Hugh Owen Training room (the little room off the big PC suite on E floor) this Friday morning (the 24th). Users with mobility issues, who have previously arranged access via Student Support, are welcome to use the accessibility entrance on Level E.

If you are a student with a mobility issue or a learning difference please do come along and let us know what you think.

Helo eto,

Ddydd Gwener byddwn yn cynnal cyfarfod adborth â’r myfyrwyr sydd â phroblemau symudedd neu wahaniaethau dysgu. Mae tîm y prosiect yn awyddus iawn i glywed beth sydd gennych chi i’w ddweud am y cynllun newydd arfaethedig; efallai y bydd modd i chi amlygu problem nad oeddem wedi ei hystyried eto. Byddwn yn edrych ar y cynllun, y cynllun lliw arfaethedig a rhai o’r dodrefn. Mae’r rheoliadau adeiladu’n ymdrin â’r problemau symudedd sylfaenol a fydd yn codi ond rydym hefyd eisiau ystyried materion yn ymwneud â’r synhwyrau a’r clyw. Dim ond gyda’ch cymorth chi y gallwn ni wneud hyn.

Cynhelir y cyfarfod am 10yb yn ystafell hyfforddi Hugh Owen (yr ystafell fach ger yr ystafell gyfrifiaduron fawr ar lawr E) fore dydd Gwener (24ain). Mae croeso i ddefnyddwyr sydd â phroblemau symudedd, sydd eisoes wedi trefnu mynediad drwy’r Gwasanaethau Cymorth i Fyfyrwyr, ddefnyddio’r fynedfa hygyrchedd ar Lawr E.

Os ydych chi’n fyfyriwr gyda phroblemau symudedd neu wahaniaeth dysgu dewch i roi gwybod beth ydych chi’n ei feddwl.

One thing I forgot to mention in my previous post is that the plans to date are very much based on feedback we have already received (the above image is the Feedback board we used in the library to gather your thoughts via Post-Its). Where ever possible your suggestions have been incorporated and we greatly appreciate the engagement and enthusiasm shown for the project so far.

Although the finer detail is still under discussion some of the high level architectural changes are more firmed up and we are about to approach a major milestone in the project as we will be going out to tender for the building contract at the end of this month. Watch this space! [:cy]

Un peth yr anghofiais sôn amdano yn fy neges ddiwethaf oedd bod y cynlluniau wedi’u seilio’n fawr iawn ar yr adborth yr ydym eisoes wedi’i gael (mae’r llun uchod yn dangos y bwrdd adborth a ddefnyddiwyd yn y llyfrgell i gasglu eich sylwadau drwy gyfrwng nodiadau Post-It). Pan fo’n bosibl, rydym wedi ymgorffori’ch awgrymiadau ac rydym yn gwerthfawrogi’ch ymrwymiad a’ch brwdfrydedd tuag at y prosiect hyd yma.

Er bod y manylion bach yn dal i gael eu trafod mae rhai o’r newidiadau pensaernïol mawr yn fwy cadarn ac rydym ar fin dod at garreg filltir fawr yn y prosiect gan ein bod yn mynd i dendr am y contract adeiladu ddiwedd y mis. Rhagor cyn hir![:]
