00:00:04.680 --> 00:00:06.480
We really love being at the heart of campus. 

00:00:06.520 --> 00:00:09.600
The best thing about the new FAB
 is that it's right next door to the Library

00:00:09.640 --> 00:00:14.280
it's next door to the Art Centre and the Oculus,
 where a lot of arts teaching goes on.

00:00:14.520 --> 00:00:17.240
So students have got everything
 right on their doorstep.

00:00:17.320 --> 00:00:20.000
A particularly great moment to see Warwick Arts

00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:22.480
and Humanities being brought back together

00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:23.960
the departments brought back together

00:00:24.040 --> 00:00:26.320
with very much a focus on community
 and collaboration,

00:00:26.360 --> 00:00:27.080
which has been

00:00:27.080 --> 00:00:29.360
really the focus of the building

00:00:29.360 --> 00:00:31.840
I think seeing Warwick invest so much in

00:00:31.880 --> 00:00:37.000
the arts department is really encouraging
 because it makes us students feel so valued

00:00:37.240 --> 00:00:39.960
and it sort of sets
 the bar for the academic world also.

00:00:40.120 --> 00:00:44.400
I am so grateful to the university
 that they're investing in the arts in this way.

00:00:44.440 --> 00:00:47.800
They've created this new building
 and it's so wonderful

00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:50.000
to see the arts continued to be built up

00:00:50.080 --> 00:00:52.880
This building offers
 lots of social learning spaces,

00:00:53.160 --> 00:00:58.120
lots of varied teaching spaces, a real opportunity

00:00:58.160 --> 00:01:02.040
to think about how we might cross
 a lot of interdisciplinary boundaries

00:01:02.840 --> 00:01:05.520
in terms of research collaboration,

00:01:05.560 --> 00:01:07.560
but also co-creation with our students.

00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:08.600
Students here 

00:01:08.600 --> 00:01:11.760
are going to have access
 to state of the art facilities.

00:01:11.960 --> 00:01:16.240
We have two superb theatre studios
 and rehearsal rooms as well.

00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:21.000
We've got a fabulous high-tech
 media suite for our media students.

00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:23.360
And we also have a full size

00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:28.320
70 seater cinema and screening rooms
 as well for our Film and Television students.

00:01:28.520 --> 00:01:32.240
And all of these spaces are also open
 to all of our disciplines and to students

00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:33.680
from around the university as well. 

00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:38.400
So they're brilliant creative spaces
 built to a very high standard.

00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:41.200
The building itself is excellent
 for all faculty of art students.

00:01:41.240 --> 00:01:43.600
However, what's really important
 for a modern language student

00:01:43.720 --> 00:01:45.520
is the Transnational Resources Centre.

00:01:45.600 --> 00:01:47.120
The Transnational Resources Centre

00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:50.600
allows us to collaborate in between classes
and also to socialize as well.

00:01:50.600 --> 00:01:53.080
I'm particularly excited
 about the new antiquities room

00:01:53.360 --> 00:01:56.760
that will really allow us to make the most
 of our collection of ancient artifacts.

00:01:57.040 --> 00:01:59.760
It will give students the opportunity
 to handle the objects,

00:01:59.960 --> 00:02:03.720
learn curatorial skills
 and even to design their own exhibitions.

00:02:03.800 --> 00:02:06.000
It's really exciting to be in this brand new building,

00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:08.320
where we've brought of the creative arts disciplines

00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:13.640
together into one place, it's
 a fabulously open and light and airy building.

00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:17.560
And that's exactly what we're trying to do
 with our colleagues and our students as well,

00:02:17.600 --> 00:02:21.160
create that open space
where disciplines can work together.

00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:25.400
To be together with other departments,
will allow us to explore our interconnections

00:02:25.440 --> 00:02:28.480
and find new innovative projects
 for research and collaboration.

00:02:28.480 --> 00:02:32.640
There are loads of really great study spaces for
 art students in the new Faculty of Arts building.

00:02:33.040 --> 00:02:37.320
So we are really pleased that students can work
 either informally or formally

00:02:37.320 --> 00:02:38.640
right here in the building.

00:02:38.880 --> 00:02:40.200
We really hope that this will make the FAB

00:02:40.200 --> 00:02:40.700
We really hope that this will make the FAB

00:02:40.880 --> 00:02:43.920
the place for art students
 to interact with each other,

00:02:44.200 --> 00:02:47.560
Every department has their own student
 study spaces.

00:02:48.120 --> 00:02:52.680
For example, the history department has a space
where all history students can come and study.

00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:53.440
Throughout the building

00:02:53.480 --> 00:02:58.120
there are wonderful spaces that you can use
 both to study collaboratively and independently.

00:02:58.120 --> 00:02:59.800
The students who study in 
those spaces are going to be

00:02:59.800 --> 00:03:03.760
very lucky because they're going
 to get an absolutely first class education.

00:03:03.760 --> 00:03:06.000
There couldn't
 be a better place for art students on campus.
