  • Student Accommodation Survey 2019-20
    Residential and Business Services Friday, 20 December 2019 Student Accommodation Survey 2019-20 John Burnet Hall Introduction: This report is based on the responses collected from the November 2019 Student Accommodation Survey. In analysing the results, the ‘not applicable’ responses were removed to provide an accurate breakdown of responses. To ensure easy analysis of information in the bar and pie charts, the very satisfied and satisfied responses have been combined to represent overall satisfaction. Likewise, the dissatisfied and strongly dissatisfied responses have been combined to represent overall dissatisfaction. The individual breakdown of responses has been preserved in the separate survey reports. Average results have been calculated for each category and are presented alongside the individual responses to the category questions for ease of reference. The survey results showed a notable difference in International student satisfaction compared to Home/EU student satisfaction, therefore the overall satisfaction and catering satisfaction categories are broken down further and also presented by Home/EU and International satisfaction.

  • University Library Annual Report 2011-2012
    University Library Annual Report 2011-2012 Foreword Academic Year 2011-12 brought with it another period of turbulent change – most of it positive – for the University Library. The major and very tangible difference for our Library users was the arrival of a new and contemporary décor in Level 2 of the Main Library – the entrance level. All of a sudden, a building which had seemed unfortunately trapped in the 1970s was jolted forwards to take on the features of an early 21st century academic library, with a strong emphasis on meeting the expectations and improving the experience of our sophisticated student users. It did so by introducing an increased provision of self-service facilities, a café, contemporary furnishings and fittings and a recognition of the need to provide zones within the building for different types of library user behaviour: a ‘general zone’ on Level 2, where we permit mobile phone use, conversation, and food and drink consumption (within limits), and silent zones on our two upper levels. Space for 150 additional study spaces on Level 2 also helped to cope with the constantly growing demand from our student community, and a raised floor permitted power and data points to populate the space sufficient to cope with the strain placed on it by ubiquitous student mobile devices and the desire for instant connectivity. Even long-belated change can produce nostalgia, however, and there was a degree of regret expressed by some users over the fact that most Library staff were now removed behind partition walls (or downstairs to Level 1) to open out the optimal space to reader use and new facilities.

  • University of St Andrews Carbon Management Plan Cmp 2011
    UNIVERSITY OF ST ANDREWS CARBON MANAGEMENT PLAN CMP 2011 - 2016 Date: Nov 2012 Version number: v0.3 Owner: Roddy Yarr Approval route: Sustainability Policy Group Next revision due: Feb 2013 Original document June 2011 Revision v0.2 Feb 2012 Typographical updates Revision v0.3 Nov 2012 Clarification of utilities management target i Foreword from Principal This Plan for carbon management over the next 5 years represents a commitment from the University to make improvements across a range of key areas. The plan is aligned to the University’s Strategic Plan and supports the existing Sustainable Development Policy and Strategy which recognises the need to reduce carbon emissions in order to become more sustainable. Since the University started to understand its ‘carbon footprint’, there has been a significant increase in the awareness of staff and students. By working together, the analysis and identification of ways by which this ‘footprint’ can and will be reduced will enable the University to continue to provide exceptional teaching and research in ever more sustainable ways. Changing the way we do things won’t happen overnight. To achieve these changes will take time, and effective communication and engagement is key. As an institution that is renowned worldwide for excellence in teaching and research, the University also aims to be at the forefront in demonstrating working practices that integrate environmental, social and economic issues. Achieving sustainable development rests with us all. Each of us has a contribution to make, and the consequence will be a cleaner, healthier and more sustainable environment for everyone in St Andrews. I commend this plan and its aims and objectives to you and encourage you to become involved in this exciting endeavour.

  • St Andrew for Scotland
    Ancient Wisdom, Modern Mission Following Christ in the Footsteps of the Saints Introduction Adam Court/flickr St Mary’s Church, Beddgelert, Wales, UK Have you ever walked past a church and noticed that its name is that of a saint? And have you ever wondered why so many churches seem to be called after saints? By the fourth century, it began to be the practice to dedicate new churches to a ‘patron’ saint. Images of that person were often displayed in the churches and the name of the saint would be displayed. Today, many churches are dedicated to all kinds of saints, but some Christian denominations now do not use them to dedicate their buildings. The Christian creeds, our statements of what we believe, say that ‘we believe in the communion of saints’, - holy women and men who have been faithful followers of Jesus Christ and who have often lost their lives through persecution of the Christian faith. Some Christian denominations recognise saints ‘days’ in the Christian calendar when particular saints are especially remembered and churches dedicated to particular saints hold special services, ‘patronal festivals’, on those particular days. Across the world, some of these dates are very well known outside the Church, such as St Valentine’s Day on February 14th or the St Patrick’s Day celebrations on March 17th. Some saints are said to be ‘patron saints’ of particular groups of people, sometimes because of some event or legend about their own story. In the UK there are four ‘nation’ saints, St George for England, St David for Wales, St Patrick for Ireland, and St Andrew for Scotland.
