3. Forecast of the acquisition of the necessary material resources and services
The Faculty of Medicine at the University of La Laguna underwent an Institutional Evaluation Program between January 2007 and March 2008, the second phase of which involved an external evaluation by ANECA (National Agency for Quality Assessment and Accreditation). The conclusions of this report identified areas for improvement in terms of material and structural resources, some of which have been undertaken and implemented, while others are still in the planning stage. The most significant of the latter are:
- Improvements to classrooms include replacing furniture to provide ergonomic conditions and installing and improving lighting, sound, and air conditioning.
- Construction of a new classroom building, with classrooms of adequate size for seminars, practical learning, and ECOEs. Alternatively, smaller classrooms could be created from some of the existing ones, the latter being planned for periods of overcrowding in the degree program, which were no longer in effect for years.
- Carry out a complete installation of signage and posters throughout the Faculty, including the main facade.
- Eliminate architectural barriers for disabled people, ensuring that they are required in all facilities.
These actions are part of the Master Plan for the Health Sciences Campus, for the renovation of buildings and integration of the constructions planned in the medium and long term.
