IT and Tech

Connecting to the Wifi

150 Holborn has WiFi throughout the building, which you and your guests can connect to via the Dar Guest network. You will need to log in the first time you access this, and then you will be automatically connected whenever you are in the building.

PW Private and PW Mobile WiFi networks will operate as normal within our studio. If your laptop is not connecting when you enter the building, just re-enter the password.

Connecting to the PW Server

Once you are connected to the internet, you will be able to access the PW servers and all computer programmes as normal.

Your day-to-day work flow will not change.

You can sit anywhere in the studio or building with your laptop and connect to the WiFi and servers.

Don’t forget you will need your charger if you are moving around the space.

Desks with screens

Some desks will have the same docking system you are used to from the Whitechapel Building.

Some desks will have a new set up, with a USBC cable coming directly from the screens.

If you have a Lenovo laptop, the USBC cable will allow you to connect to the screens, have faster internet connection, and charge your laptop.

If you have an MSI laptop, the USBC cable will allow you to connect to the screens, have faster internet connection, but will not charge your laptop. MSI Chargers will be available at the desks.

Printing

Follow Me printing will be available throughout the building, and you will be able to print from any of the printers in communal spaces.

Printing facilities on our floor will include one A4/A3 printer and one A0 plotter.

The A4/A3 printer will use the Follow Me system.

The A0 plotter will use the existing system from the Whitechapel Building.

Booking Meeting Rooms

Communal meeting rooms for the building, e.g. Level 1, can be booked via the Planon app.

On our floor there are four meeting rooms:

Two are PW meeting rooms which can only be booked by us, and will be bookable in the same way as we booked meeting rooms at the Whitechapel Building.

Two are DAR meeting rooms, which can be booked by anyone in the building. They will be bookable via the Planon app, which you can use to book meeting rooms on Level 1.

IT/AV Issues

If you are having any general IT issues, please contact Perkins&Will IT support as normal, via a HelpDesk ticket.

Our team will support you, or will escalate the ticket to the dedicated building tech team if required.

If you have any immediate AV issues during meetings, you can ask the Level 1 support team, who will be happy to help.
