Similarly to the INTU centre have some lockable units where you can charge your phone for up to 30 mins or other time. Also have wireless charging ports in the library at some desks.

It would be helpful to have charging places like these in the library so we're not on our phones when we're studying, we might be less distracted if they're locked in a box charging for an hour.

CONGRATULATIONS! This idea has now reached the requisite number of up-votes to be taken to Summit to be considered by the Union of Students officers later this year. We will feed back to you with any updates and progress regarding this issue. Thank you all for coming together to give us your ideas and opinions - your voice really DOES make a difference! #changewithus

I feel it would be easier to have hardwired points in the university libraries, as this would be more cost effective, whether or not this is a simple plug point near computers, or a USB port on the desk for charging. Just throwing this in there as a tradesman myself.

FOLLOWING SUMMIT - the idea to provided additional power points was actioned off the back of the Ideas Forum last year and has resulted in the library adding new study spaces and desks with power points and the Union adding multiple power points throughout Blends and the new extended section of Blends above the Academy. The idea for charging lockers was not favourable due to cost and space requirements, but hopefully the addition of charging points and study spaces satisfies your electricity needs. Enjoy juicing up all your electronic devices! [This idea will now be archived as passed]
