To provide or modify technical furniture to house the new equipment. To deliver a linked facility where studio 2 is a small news reading facility that can interface with studio 1. To provide capacity for two way connectivity to 'radio studio 3' in the future. To deliver training to the university technical staff in the use of the new facility and provide schematics and documentation to allow servicing and fault finding by third parties.
