Hi Tutku
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I think this is really good idea. If we put some white/blackboards in there too, it would provide a great visual to visitors seeing our students G’s and postdocs discussing their wonderful research. I’m sure we can get hold of some boards from stores</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Anyway, great initiative</div>

of CAPT. Many have tried and many have failed. Let’s see how it goes this time.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none;"><span style="font-family: Aptos, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">A few of us have a longer-term vision for the space: a proper greenhouse, a
<i>seasonal</i> rest area, and a quiet spot where people can also take meetings and socialise. We don’t have any dedicated resources for this, but it looks like we can already cover the basics for meeting and gardening using items currently in the space. One
step at a time.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none;"><span style="font-family: Aptos, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">I did a quick inventory today to get a sense of what we’re dealing with. Surprisingly,
it doesn’t seem like there’s much heavy material that needs disposing of, mostly clutter and unused items. My plan is to share the inventory with the building manager and see what support we can get for clearing things out.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none;"><span style="font-family: Aptos, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">In the meantime, please look at the inventory. There are things to keep and things to
dispose/recycle. If there’s anything you’d like to keep or rescue, I guess you are free to do so. And if you have items stored in there that I might not recognise as important, please either take them or let me know so we don’t accidentally dispose of anything
valuable.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Aptos, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">I expect arranging the clear out will take a while since schools has no money, but the actual work should be quick, probably less
than half a day. So, who knows, </span><span style="font-family: Aptos, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">maybe it happens. If you have any more
</span>ideas on this, please share them!</p>
