Tutor Common Room



Starting for the academic year 09/10, BIMM West will have a new common room facility, available for use by BIMM tutors. This facility has been installed to ease congestion in the BIMM West Office upstairs, and should be used by tutors for lunch breaks / tea breaks etc, as desired. Tea making facilities will be provided, together with a fridge and a microwave. Wi-Fi will also be available. With this new facility comes the responsibility to keep it clean and tidy, so please make sure you wash up any cutlery or cups you use, and dispose of any rubbish accordingly. Please note that students are only allowed to bring water into the classrooms, with hot drinks expressly prohibited. Tutors should also adhere to this rule, and use the tutor common room when a hot drink is required.
