The document discusses how universities need new models to compete for students in the face of cheaper online alternatives. It summarizes the "Smart Campus" model at the University of Nottingham, which aims to foster collaboration through an open plan library/learning hub without distinct faculty structures. Key aspects of the Smart Campus include powerful wireless networks and device connectivity, streaming capabilities, cybersecurity, AI and data-driven decision making. It also shows data on device usage and social media analytics. The Smart Campus aims to bridge online and on-campus learning through technologies like digital credentials.

Smart Campus,
Smarter “Library”
Nick Petford
VC & CEO

4. Future Focused
• Competition for students
• Competition from cheaper
alternatives
• Competition from on-line
delivery
A new model needed to add value to the on-campus
experience with support for personalised & digital learning

5. Disrupting learning and work spaces
• Objectives:
• Remove silos (no distinct Faculty/Schools structure)
• Open Plan
• Foster collaboration/innovation between disciplines & services
• Blended (not distinct) library space, adaptable
• Library = Learning Hub “Costa Coffee” model – informal, soft furnishings,
food, drink, noise! (some quiet spaces)
• Piracy encouraged: roam free and wild, BYOD, informal take-overs, etc

6. Trade off between diversification & risk
determines level of internal disruption

7. Blue Ocean Thinking
Raise
Reduce
Eliminate
Create
