This elegant three-storey building was originally located on our previous base, Schomebase, and is now situated at the southern end of the Open Life island. Its position right next to the landing point for the Open Life island allows it to make a striking first impression on those who arrive.
Situated in the foyer of the nOUbie centre is the buddy board. This board allows anyone requiring help to ‘page’ an online buddy who will endeavour to teleport to the centre and provide help if possible. To the left is a seating area with a fountain and a board full of free stuff for anyone to ‘buy’. To the right is another seating area with information boards on display giving information about studying with the OU.
The first floor is home to the orientation room and the bookings room. The orientation room houses an interactive book which gives information and tips on basic Second Life skills and was created by two OU students. To move to the previous or next page you simply click on the left or right pages of the book. The bookings room provides OU staff with information about the availability of the five teaching/learning areas on Open Life. A series of boards informs people about whether the area is currently in use and when the next booking for that area is.
The second floor is currently empty but one half of it has been reserved by the OUSA and is sealed off and under construction.
