Physics lectures in SAF?

Cross-departmental timetabling could be introduced by October 2012

The College has announced an initiative to “implement a College-wide timetabling project” that could see departments sharing major lecture theatres and potentially reduce the need to build new lecture theatres.

The proposal comes out of work done by Professor Robin Leatherbarrow and his team and would see a “centralised software solution” for timetable management being implemented across Imperial.
