The Showcase was a great success for Murdoch!
We had approximately 9 attendees from outside and about the same internal
attendees, so about 19 in all.
Outside interest was created by Curtin University, Notre Dame University, The City of Melville Public Library, so a good mix in all.
We asked for feedback comments:
“Great use of spaces, furniture – Thanks for sharing!”
“I love the way the spaces are designed for collaborative work and that
laptop users can plug in, in so many spaces and especially outside!!”
“HIGHLIGHTS – I loved the work tables that double as whiteboards –
Brilliant idea!. Impressed with the array of work study choices. Found
the environment very inviting & staff very enthusiastic”
“Very funky – liked the booth idea for close group study”
“Thanks very much for the great tour – think you have done well with
your renovations! Love the desks you can write on – I’d be drawing all
over them!”
So in all we were very pleased and we, at Murdoch, think ‘showcasing’ is a wonderful ALIAWest initiative
