UCMK Facilities
The UCMK campus in Central Milton Keynes was purpose-designed for HE. It is a highly-attractive new facility which provides a creative, stimulating and comfortable environment for all members of ‘our academic community'. It enjoys environmentally-friendly, state-of-the-art facilities, including lecture theatres, seminar rooms, IT suites, a CISCO academy, a design studio, a dedicated library and resource centre, breakout areas, conference facilities, an art gallery and a superb café. The building is equipped with a high bandwidth computer network and is wireless-flood so that laptop users can enjoy wireless access throughout UCMK.
UCMK is filled with the very latest IT facilities. Each lecture and seminar room has an integrated SMART board to allow multimedia presentations. A large number of computers are available for students to use for their private study and these are bookable over the internet. Full use is made of Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs) to support teaching and learning - MOODLE is used at UCMK and BLACKBOARD and WebCT are used by our partner universities. A dedicated student intranet is used as the UCMK portal for information services.
Dedicated librarians are on hand to support students with research and with information management activities. Award-winning student support services are readily available, as are friendly reception and technical support staff, to ensure that our student experience is first class.
All UCMK students also have access to the excellent Open University Library which is just a few miles away on the OU's main campus in Milton Keynes.
