Nottingham Trent Universities student radio station, FlyFM, is based in the new Student Union (opened in September 2013). So I have asked some of the students working in the studio to complete the survey below to gain a quick insight about their feelings on the design of the space provided.

If the room is quite warm, as it is small it makes me a bit sleepy. Other than that the studio doesn't really affect my mood.

Data conclusion;
80% were happy with the space provided, and size wise 50% were happy with the size of it and the other 50% believe it to bee too small. Overall 80% believe that the design of the space has an affect on their mood, more a multitude of reasons such as comfort, creativity and windows not being there. The main design features suggested were windows/natural lighting, wire organisation and having the ability to stand. All of these results are useful and I will take them into consideration when designing.
British Grove Studios - My intention was to visit and interview a sound technician at British Grove recording Studios, sadly they studios were constantly busy so I was unable to visit. However I have been informed that I am still welcome to visit if needs be in the future.
