Woman:
As you can see, Student Services is at the bottom of your plan. 
To the right of Student Services is a row of three lecture Halls. The Albert 
Lecture Hall is the one in the centre.

Woman:
The Arts Block is directly below the Science Block, and just 
above the Student Services building.

Woman:
See the two L-shaped buildings at the top of the plan, in the 
right-hand corner? 
The Main Library is the smaller of those two buildings.

Woman:
The Sports Complex is easy to find. See the circular running 
track at the top of the map? On the left of that are two long, rectangular 
buildings. The Sports Complex is the one nearest to the running track.

Woman:
The café is well situated on the campus. In between the science 
block and the carpark – there’s a square-shaped building complex where 
many seminars take place. And in the centre of that building complex, 
you can find the café.

Woman:
The nursery is in a nice spot. It’s that building to the south of the 
carpark. The one that’s surrounded by trees.

Manager:
Good afternoon. First of all, I want to say thank you for your 
patience for the last six months. As you know, all the office staff had 
to move to temporary offices while the renovation work at the factory 
complex was taking place. But finally that work is finished, and everyone 
can return to the factory complex, and their new office space. We’re 
hoping everything will go smoothly but – there’s a couple of things we’ll 
need you to do during your first week back.
You’ll be pleased to know that your files and folders have been placed 
at your desk, so there’s no need for you to go hunting around for any 
records. Um, a couple of people have asked whether their old pass 
will still work at the security gate – or will they need to get their photo 
done and update their personal details. I can assure you that the old 
pass will still get you through the gate. No problem. Once you’ve had 
a chance to settle in to the new offices, please take the time to view a 
training video for the operating system we’re now using. We think it’s 
going to manage all our programmes far more efficiently. Obviously, the 
sooner you can get this done, the better. Also for next week, because the 
renovations have meant a complete redesign of some of the company’s 
buildings, you’ll need to attend a session on things like – what to do if 
you hear the fire alarm go off, and where to meet if you have to evacuate 
the buildings. We’ll let you know as soon as we have a definite time for 
that. It’s going to be a busy week for everyone, but hopefully the kind of 
challenge that can help bring the team together. We’ll make a time for 
you to report back to me on Friday.
All right, we’ve also taken some steps to improve the physical 
environment in your offices. Bigger windows mean that the offices are 
a lot brighter – and that’s better for your eyes. Inside we’ve replaced 
some dividing walls with coloured glass panels. They look great. We’ve 
also invested in some adjustable chairs. You can lower or raise them 
to whatever height feels right for you. What else? We’ve now got some 
quality insulation in the ceilings and walls that’ll make everything a lot 
warmer. Also – another thing – we’ve set aside several rooms for project 
work. That will allow a team to get together around the same table. We 
feel that more opportunities for face-to-face discussion will benefit the 
whole company. So, when you… 
Now listen and answer questions 15 to 20
.
Manager:
OK, so let’s look at a plan of the factory complex, and see how 
it’s changed. You can see that the main entrance is at the top of the 
map, Ellerslie Road is on the left-hand side, and the warehouse is at the 
bottom. OK, let’s start with one of the new buildings – the conference 
centre, perhaps. If you look at the lower half of your plan, on the 
right, there are two long buildings that are parallel to each other. The 
conference centre is the one with a view of the river. Hopefully that’s 
something visitors to the factory complex will appreciate – especially on 
a sunny day when it’s clear outside. 
Now, what about the new office space? As you know, the offices used to 
be in that large building right alongside Ellerslie Road, and that could get 
a bit noisy at times. So what we’ve done is move the office space further 
away from the road – into the building that directly joins on to Reception. 
This should mean employees can benefit from a quieter working 
environment, as well as the other improvements I mentioned earlier.
We also decided to move the Stores building, so it could be a lot closer to 
the warehouse. 
So now, if you were going to enter the factory complex from the Ellerslie 
Road entrance, Stores would be the building immediately on your left. 
The warehouse staff have already commented that having the Stores here 
is much more convenient. Yes, I’m sure it’s going to save a lot of time. 
Finance was another building that had to be relocated. They just didn’t 
have enough space before. So, you can see the main entrance on the 
plan. right? And below that is the roundabout. Then there’s the road 
that goes from the roundabout directly to reception. Well, the Finance 
building is about halfway along that road. On the plan, the factory’s just 
above it. 
The café, just so you know, is in the same place as before. It’s not ideally
located for the factory workers, that’s true, but it’s not too far if you’re 
heading down from Reception, or up from the warehouse. But what 
we’ve done is try to make the environment a bit more pleasant. So, 
whereas before you looked straight from the café onto the large car park, 
now there’s a line of trees separating them. I think you’ll agree that this 
was a good decision – putting in the trees, I mean. 
It was also necessary to relocate the IT department. Of course, for 
some of their work, they can do it remotely, but from time to time, the 
IT people do need to visit the different buildings around the factory 
complex. For that reason, we’ve given the IT department a more central 
location. It’s that square building you see right in the centre of the plan – 
one of the closest buildings to the larger car park. Something I’d like to 
say about …
