New Build feedback logging system - to be set up in Blackboard Organizations

When moving into a major redevelopment, it is inevitable that there will be some teething problems. From the 4th January 2010 an 'organization' will be available on blackboard called 'New Build Feedback'. The aim of this page is to get some instant feedback should any problems arise. This page can be used by everyone who has a login. We will also welcome general feedback on the building project.

This system will not replace the present one, of reporting the normal daily maintenance issues (to Steph)
