Using the Library: Facilities & study spaces

Need to work as a group?

Some areas such as the ground floor and the third floor are best suited to group work and informal study, where you can discuss your work with other students. There are also private group study rooms available for small groups to book through our resource booking tool. These are all equipped with IT and audio visual equipment.

Need to work quietly? 

The second floor is a quiet floor, which is suited to quiet individual study. Calls should be taken off the floor.

Need silence? 

If you prefer to study in an area where there is no noise or distractions, the first floor is designated as a silent zone. There is also a silent room on the second floor.
