Queen Margaret University students: no excuse now for missing your bus
November 14, 2007
The new Grant Management sponsored internet cafe at Queen Margaret University in Musselburgh was covered by the Edinburgh Evening News last night.
The newspaper also mentions the electronic bus time system we are installing. This will let students at the campus near Edinburgh know when their bus is about to arrive and how much time they have left to finish their donuts, I mean, their class assignments.
The article continues:
The new £105 million eco-campus near Musselburgh has the lowest carbon footprint of any UK campus, and includes a biomass heating system, fuelled by wood-chip, and more than 26,000 new trees and hedgerows.
Grant Management’s sponsorship deal with the new-look QMU has also seen the company itself go carbon neutral.
Chief executive Peter Grant said: “Helping the planet is a big issue for the students and young professionals who form the bulk of our tenants, so it also has to be a big issue for us as a business.
“By going carbon neutral we’re offering students the choice to live in a more sustainable way.”
And by installing the electronic bus time system at Queen Margaret University, we’re also offering them the chance to get back to their student accommodation in time for tea.
