POWERING STUDENT SPACES
// SIR JAMES FOOTS BUILDING
The Sir James Foots building is named after former UQ Senator and Chancellor (1985-92), Sir James Foots, in recognition of his distinguished career in the mining industry and long-time personal and professional support of the University including his position of Inaugural Chairman of The University of Queensland Foundation from 1982 to 1985. The L-shaped building features an eight-storey tower block, flanked by a five-storey wing running alongside College Road. The building’s fixtures and fittings have recently been modernized, with most now equipped with OE Elsafe’s Peak, PIP2, and PIP3 power units.
// WHY PIP2 and PIP3?
PIP2 and PIP3 are contemporary, low-profile power units designed for desk or panel mounting in educational and commercial environments. These units integrate seamlessly with furniture and can be installed either flush or at an ergonomic 8° angle to enhance end user access, offering flexibility to suit various applications.
The eco-friendly PIP2 and PIP3 units are crafted from up to 63% recycled plastic. The PIP range is compatible with our patented, eco award-winning TUF-R USB charging modules, enabling quick, easy on-site repairs at end of life, saving time, resources and significantly extending product life.
TUF-R USB modules feature the world’s first reversible Type-A port, ensuring a first-time connection every time. Connectors can be inserted either way, reducing wear and damage while extending the life of the module and product.
// WHY PEAK?
PEAK with its eye-catching “floating surface” design, is an elegant new approach for providing power to shared spaces. Choose PEAK in classic brushed stainless steel with black sockets or in matt white with grey sockets for a more contemporary look.
PEAK comes in a 6 or 8 socket option and can be configured with Australian power sockets, Data/AV connectivity, and our class leading TUF-R USB charging modules.
Despite a low visual profile, PEAK requires only 50 mm of mounting depth. PEAK is supplied with four M8 screw clamps which is all that is required to fit PEAK securely in place.
