Right from the outset, this new space provides a serene, biophilic feel yet this is flawlessly blended with integrated technology at every point. LED display screens can be used to welcome or display information, meeting rooms are enhanced with full AV and connectivity and students have their own personal smart locker. Working with Wagstaff furniture providers, our HotLocker system provides tech-enabled personal storage spaces. Allocated on an individual basis, students can assign themselves a locker for a day using their phone or the central self-service terminal, and then release the locker for others to use once they have reclaimed their items.  

Not only do tech-enabled lockers provide a seamless experience for the students, but for the facilities team at the University of Sussex it ensures much easier management of the lockers, without the need for keys, as well as providing a detail-rich audit trail of where and when the various lockers are being used. Sustainability also played a key role throughout the creation of the University. The Fulton Building is naturally ventilated, with a concrete frame that acts as a heat sink, helping to regulate the inside temperatures.
