The Client: The University of St Andrews
The University of St Andrew's is Scotland's premier university and the third oldest in the UK. Founded in 1413, St Andrew's is actively involved in pushing back the frontiers of knowledge and strives to offer its scholars the latest in teaching and research facilities.

The Challenges:
Provide students with 24/7 access to computers in public and unsupervised areas within 11 halls of residence.

The Constraints:
Space – Install in communal areas without the need for building alterations.
Security – equipment must be secure against theft or damage in unsupervised area 24 hours a day 7 days a week

The Solution:
102 i-desk Wall Mount integrated PC desks installed in groups of 2-3 and 4-5 across 11 different halls of residence.

“We needed to give computer access to students in communal areas throughout the halls of residence and that required a high level of security for the equipment,which also needed to tamper-proof and make best use of the limited space available. The i-desk Wall Mount desk presented us with the perfect solution with the added benefit that when not in use the desk top can fold up to conceal the monitor, keyboard and mouse giving an added level of security against theft or accidental damage. Installation was also simpler and cheaper compared to conventional PC’s because each group of i-desks are connected to a single power socket and network point with all cabling neatly routed through
trunking within the desk frame.”
