About the project
OE has been working with Teesside University to bring mobile device charging solutions to their refurbished lecture theatre at the heart of their campus. It was important to the university that these charging solutions were conveniently located throughout the theatre, but without taking up too much of the writing surface of the furniture, providing students with plenty of space for their laptops and writing materials.
Teesside specified OE’s Pixeltuf units, which comprise a UK socket plus USB-A and USB-C to charge all devices from smartphones to laptops. Every new student at the university is issued an iPad when they begin their studies, so providing USB charging in all the units ensures these tablets can charge at their optimum speed, particularly via the USB-C outlet. Each unit was then cable managed to hide the connecting cables and allow a clean aesthetic throughout. The new lecture theatre opened for the start of the 2019/2020 school year with positive feedback from both staff and students.
