The final locations for on-campus printers have now been determined following the consultation period and your extensive feedback.
The high cost of maintaining the current ACU printer fleet is unsustainable with on-campus printers costing nearly $600K a year, despite usage patterns shifting and declining materially over the past five years.
In November, we advised that we were planning to remove 60 per cent of ACU staff printers and invited feedback on the proposed plan.
185 individual pieces of feedback were received, with the majority being concerns around feasibility or convenience of completing work without a particular printer.
Every item of the extensive feedback has been carefully considered. The revised plan takes into consideration both the impact of printer removal and the need to reduce our printer fleet.
