    Industry Joins Forces to Launch Built Environment Virtual Pavilion For

    Press Release Contact: Brooke Penman +44 (0)7794 903325 Industry joins forces to launch Built Environment Virtual Pavilion for COP26 The UK Green Building Council (UKGBC) has today announced a coalition of almost 100 partner organisations across the built environment sector who will support the delivery of a Built Environment Virtual Pavilion, ahead of the UN’s COP26 Climate Summit scheduled to take place in Glasgow this November. To enable maximum participation, regardless of the status of the physical Summit, UKGBC is acting as secretariat to a huge number of organisations who have joined forces to establish a smart virtual presence, which aims to give the sector a voice at COP26, and generate a reach and legacy that can stretch beyond COP itself. The Virtual Pavilion will comprise an exhibition of global exemplar projects and places, within a bespoke virtual reality (VR) space, as well as a major series of events and downloadable content – to include keynotes, panel discussions and more. Partners will shortly launch an open call for a creative and innovative virtual centrepiece for the Pavilion, with a detailed brief expected to be formally announced within the next few weeks. At least 30 ‘Delivery Partners’ are working together to support the initiative, consisting of non-profits, trade bodies, government agencies and professional institutions from across the built environment. Delivery Partners include: • Association for Consultancy and • Construction Scotland Innovation Centre Engineering (ACE) (CSIC) • Active Building Centre •

Images courtesy Albert White and Frank Ryan Jnr. Acknowledgements The inspiration for this meeting arose several years ago when two of us (Mark Bailey [Armagh Observatory] and Albert White [Irish Light Pollution Awareness Campaign]) attended the very well organized Sixth European Symposium for the Protection of the Night Sky, held in Portsmouth, England, from 15–16 September 2006. We are very grateful for the support of the organizers of that meeting in the present arrangements, and for the provision of leaflets and other material supplied courtesy of the British Astronomical Association Campaign for Dark Skies (CfDS). We also thank the core institutional supporters of the meeting: the Republic of Ireland’s Dis- cover Science and Engineering programme; the Armagh Observatory and its core funding agency the Northern Ireland Department of Culture, Arts and Leisure (DCAL); the Royal Irish Academy (RIA), Dublin; and the Armagh and City District Council (ACDC). The important stimulus to astronomy education and public outreach activities provided by the United Nations International Year of Astronomy (IYA2009), particularly in the UK and Ireland, must also be acknowledged and recognized, and we particularly thank Mike Redfern, Robert Hill and Miruna Popescu (the all- Ireland IYA2009 – Ireland Secretariat) for their support and encouragement in the arrangements for this meeting from its earliest days.

    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. Demographic Breakdown: Total respondents: 1517 Male: 554 (36.5%) Female: 948 (62.5%) Non-binary: 15 (1%) Other: 0 (0%) Average age: 19.9 Undergraduate: 1267 (83.5%) Postgraduate: 250 (16.5%) Home/EU: 964 (63.5%) International: 553 (36.5%) Self-catered: 630 (41.5%) Catered: 887 (58.5%) Year of Study: 1st: 817 (54%) 2nd: 275 (18%) 3rd: 175 (11.5%) 4th: 93 (6%) Postgraduate: 157 (10.5%) 1 Residential
