Open Day self-guided tour

Welcome to the University Library self-guided tour!  This self-guided tour comprises eight signposted tour stops that you can follow if you visit the Library on an open day.  You can scan the QR code at each tour stop or tap on the tour stop section below to reveal text and audio commentary about what you can see at that tour stop.  

If you are visiting the Library other than on an open day, we recommend our standalone audio tour instead.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask any member of Library staff.  If you would prefer a guided tour, please go through the gate between the turnstiles and ask any member of Library staff in the Atrium if guided tours are currently available.

Drop-in study pods offer isolated study with fully adjustable lighting, while the larger sound-baffling drop-in meeting pods offer informal meeting spaces that contain the noise of people talking while excluding noise from outside. There is an Individual Silent Study Zone on the second floor, the entrances to which are marked with purple banners. The drop-in individual study pods on the ground floor, sound-baffling drop-in meeting pods and group study rooms are also spaces where you will typically experience less noise. Reusable earplugs are available on request from the Reception Desk.

A lift offers easy access to the upper floors for anyone to use. There is also a second lift available to anyone with reduced mobility.

>>> Please make your way past the lift to your right for tour stop 4.
