‘Learning, Education and Development Suite
The Trustees reported in their 2010 annual review that they had agreed to award funding of £750,000 to the University of West London (UWL) following an application and presentation from them. The grant would be awarded over a two year period (£375,000 per year) for the development of the ‘Savoy Educational Trust Learning, Education and Development Suite’ at their St. Mary’s Road Campus in Ealing. The grant from the Trust would enable UWL to claim 2:1 matched funds under the government’s matched funding scheme.
In the year under review following the satisfactory completion of the first year’s designated targets, the Trustees made the second and final payment to the University for this Facility. The Trustees are delighted to report that in the year that they are celebrating the Trust’s 50th anniversary, the project completed ahead of schedule and has culminated in the provision of a first class teaching and learning environment which is already in operation and will be opening its doors in the autumn to the student intake of 2011/12. The suite will be for the primary, though not exclusive, use of postgraduate and executive students.
It will have a separate entrance allowing for access to the
suite for the use of industry/external partners. It comprises of:- • A lecture theatre • A flat lecture theatre/conference room, fully equipped with technological infrastructure such as video link to facilitate dialogue with hospitality and tourism leaders around the world.
• A multi-functional area that can be converted into one large space suitable for group work or two seminar rooms
• An informal breakout area In the year under review the Trustees also gave a grant to the City & Guil Hospita lity I dustry Trust n ds of Lond on Art
School of £5,000 to enable them to award bursaries to their students during the academic year 2010/11.
£5 2 ,000
The Trustees awarded funding to Hospitality Industry Trust (HIT), a registered charity, whose remit includes the awarding of grants to FE and HE Colleges in Scotland for the provision of bursaries and scholarships primarily to students of hospitality whether from Scotland or beyond. The Trust’s grant is used specifically by HIT in the following ways:-
• Support individual hospitality students in cases of hardship and help prevent a situation where individuals have to give up their studies for financial reasons and therefore be a loss to the industry. • Enhance educational opportunities by awarding scholarships to students who otherwise would not have the opportunity to develop themselves in different learning environments. • Provide specific bursary scholarships to enable potential good calibre entrants to the industry, to learn from a world class educational establishment - the Ecole Hoteliere de Lausanne.
All three elements of the project are open to the 27 colleges and universities that HIT deal with in Scotland.
