Annex H: Staff and student experiences of new or improved college estates
1. Angus College
"The quality of student experiences has literally changed overnight with the completion of the Saltire development." - Staff member
"The new facilities that have been provided for the sports and fitness department are exceptional. As a student, I feel privileged to have this opportunity to have brand new facilities at my disposal." - Student
"Big improvement compared to main campus. We have gone from not having any facilities of our own to having the best." - Student
"facilities just like a university" - Student
2. Cardonald College
"The new workshop has brilliant facilities. It has more space and is set out better. It's minted!" - Student
"The new workshop is a lot better with more space than the old place and all new facilities. It motivates you more to work at the course". - Student
3. Edinburgh's Telford College
"A lot of staff were very wary about the building and way of working, but it's working and a lot better than I thought, and it's really nice seeing everybody". - Staff member
"I like the open plan working. I find it easier as a lot of my work is across different departments and sharing systems, so if I run into problems I can solve them much more easily". - Staff member
"It is an innovative and different way of working, with an environment you wouldn't expect from a college, if you were a student looking to come here there isn't a comparison, it is quite unique". - Staff member
"I am amongst the first students to study in the new College. I think this is a privilege and enjoy using the new building." - Student
"It's really fresh and new, it looks really nice and open". - Student
"Love the building and the fact the Student Union has its own office." - Student
"When I first saw it, the location was the first thing that grabbed me. I love the fact it is by the sea. It looks like a blank canvas with the white walls. I liked the fact that the art rooms were partitioned off, not using doors, giving the illusion of more space. I love the light coming in from the ceilings, really opening up the building. The views are superb." - Student
"The new fine art rooms are good for space and they seem more practical. The new refectory is the most different part of the building, which I really like with the raw wood beams. The open plan corridors with the gaps leading up to the roof are a good idea for natural light and the feeling of space. Overall the building is impressive for the College." - Student
"Very open plan. Room dividers are great. I love the exposed walls." - Student
"The structure of the hub with its big arches and lots of light really make the college a place that you want to spend all of the day. I love the environment, the green areas and waterside." - Student
"Fantastic new campus. Love It". - Student
4. Cumbernauld College
"Access to lockers for all students not just hairdressers" - Student
"Easy access to PCs and email" - Student
