This can result in remodelling of the room or merging it with neighbouring rooms, converting it to a group study room or similar alterations based on aforementioned considerations.
User Support
The Deparment of Facilities Management will not be responsible for user support before the room has been sufficiently upgraded (cf.1. General Room Specifications, paragraph 3. Technical equipment).
