Study Spaces

We have had a number of representations about the high level of demand for study spaces at the moment, and especially with respect to the Arts and Social Sciences Library. We are expecting a communication to be issued very soon by the Library, which will have important information for you on study space availability across the university, but additionally our two Schools have agreed to open up for your use teaching rooms on the spine of Woodland Road for the following six weekends. You can access the Faculty from the entrance at 3/5; the hours for opening (both Saturday and Sunday) will be 0900-1800. The porter on duty is Mr Paul Hardiman, a trained Emergency First Aider. We do hope that this facility will be useful for you and please do feed back to us any further points you want to raise about study space availability..
