New room booking system Asimut launches The start of the summer term saw the introduction of a brand new room booking system for the School. Asimut, which is used by several other UK and European conservatoires, launched on 22 April with a foyer event including demo screens and free puddings to entice people over to the stand! Rolled out in time for the opening of Milton Court, this system is a major investment for the School and offers significant improvements in the room booking process for staff and students:
• From September, students will be able to book practice rooms online and on their smartphones via the student app.
• In the long term, staff will also be able to book their rooms online. • Students and staff will be able to see their schedule of classes, rehearsals and exam deadlines in one place for the very first time. • The notifications of class changes and room moves will be much improved. • Students and staff will be able to contact their professors, colleagues and classmates via email direct from Asimut.
• Staff and students can see their own bookings, view what is happening in other rooms and search for classes and professors.
Asimut can be accessed at https:// gsmd.asimut.net or via the School app at guildhallschool.mobi
