Campus Reopening: Update on the Digital Design Studios

With the reopening of the campus, here's how the Digital Design Studios are going to operate for the rest of this year.

Workshops

First of all, the workshops that we have booked will continue online in the Blackboard Collaborate Virtual teaching rooms that that we have set up. If you’re not sure what rooms are attached to your workshops, you can either check your Blackboard information, your tutor or get in touch with us.

Physical Opening

The DDS Studios at Bower Ashton and the Arnolfini will be open throughout the week during standard building opening hours, but all doors will be permanently on swipe access, so please make sure that you have your ID card with you at all times. All DDS rooms continue to be socially distanced, and the appropriate Covid measures including cleaning will be in place. This includes materials for cleaning. Please clean your desk, keyboard and mouse with the wipes provided before and after your session at the computer.

If cleaning materials are running short, please let us know so that we can order replacements.

Virtual Support

We will still be operating the Virtual Support Desk (https://go.uwe.ac.uk/ddsVirtualSupport). We aim to have someone on the desk five days a week, although due to workshop commitments this isn’t always possible. Virtual Support Desk opening times are listed on the home page of the Digital Design website. The Virtual Support Desk covers the quick queries you may encounter while you’re working. If the person on the desk can’t help there and then, or we need to get someone else to help you we can arrange a convenient time to do so. We will always try to do this as soon as we can. You can also email at dds@uwe.ac.uk with any queries.

Face to Face Support

At the moment, we will be available for physical student support one day a week at Bower Ashton. This will vary according to workshop commitments in the weeks before Easter. All contact support must be booked through the SPCs, and we will be supplying the SPCs with the schedule of support. We hope to extend that after Easter, and will keep you up to date with any developments. As I’ve mentioned above, we will be available for online support, which will cover most queries.

Booking Computers in the DDS Rooms

Computers must be booked on the Connect 2 system before coming in to use one. Please do not come in to the rooms until you have checked that a machine is available and you have booked it for the time you need. You can do this on the day you intend to come in, although booking ahead is advised. Details on how to book and the link to the Connect 2 booking system can be found at https://digitaldesignstudios.bowerashton.org/dds-access.html.
