At its meeting on 28 May 2010, Academic Standards Committee noted the department had provided further information on recommendation 1 (see below) concerning serious accommodation constraints for the department. In May 2009 it had been reported that some additional accommodation would become available shortly; however the department reported that this had not occurred, and only a single office for one additional staff member had been made available. ASC agreed that the original recommendation should be re-opened and that priority should be given to providing the department with additional space. This would be raised with the director of Estates & Buildings.

ASC is asked to note the update to the recommendations and is reminded that space needs were detailed at the original review in February 2008. ASC is asked to consider suggesting a deadline for Estates & Buildings to report on their approach to Art’s College Management, to ensure an early resolution of the matter.
