Participate in the Blackboard Learn Survey!
We want to hear from you! The Faculty of Natural Sciences is planning to introduce a new Learning Management System (LMS) for the 2026-27 academic year, replacing Blackboard Learn. Your feedback is crucial in selecting the best system to meet student requirements. The survey (link here) is quick and easy, taking only 10-15 minutes to complete. Share your experiences with Blackboard Learn and let us know what you would like to see in the new platform
New 100 seat space opens at the Abdus Salam Library
Library Services are pleased to announce the opening of a new Group Study Space on level 4 of the Abdus Salam Library. The area features over 100 study spaces in an array of different types of furniture such as 2, 4 and 6-seater meeting pods, standing desks and moveable furniture.
Whilst the main study furniture is bespoke and brand-new, we were very happy to be able to re-use a number of reclaimed whiteboards, a printer and a table and benches in the ‘tea-point’.
The ‘tea-point’ also includes a hot water boiler and cold vending machines.
Later in the year we will be adding to this space by opening two bookable group study rooms on the same floor.
We look forward to welcoming you to the space soon and please send your feedback to library@imperial.ac.uk.

Opportunity to help with GroundBIRD remote telescope observations
We are looking for around five students who are interested in helping with remote observations with the GroundBIRD telescope. This is a Cosmic Microwave Background telescope observing from Tenerife, and we particularly need help with observations in the UK afternoon/evenings (approx. 2pm-8pm). It is a unique opportunity to engage in observing with a research telescope. You will be watching the telescope status remotely during observations and, if the weather gets bad, stopping observations as needed. No previous experience is needed. The role is voluntary (unpaid), can be done from any location, and only requires checking conditions every ~15 minutes (more or less often depending on weather forecasts), so can be done in parallel to studying etc. Contact Mike Peel at m.peel@imperial.ac.uk for more information.

Health and Safety
Fire evacuation assembly points for Blackett & Huxley
Dear all,
Thank you for the feedback provided following the triggering of the fire alarm in the Blackett Building last Tuesday. Please see below for the assembly points that should be used when evacuating from Blackett (points A or B) and Huxley (points A or C). You must use the nearest escape route which may not be the same route you normally use. For example, in Blackett there are the east and west stairwells which connect floors 0-7, in addition to the main stairwell which connects all floors. Always use the break glass to release exit doors and keep roads clear in case emergency vehicles need access.
