Choosing where to study

Everyone’s ideal study space looks and feels different. That is why the Library comprises a whole series of spaces that look and feel very different. From the collaborative study spaces near the Library Café, which have an energising noise from gentle background chatter to the mixture of computers and soft seating in the rest of the Library and the rows of formal desks with dividers to minimise distraction from others in the Individual Silent Zone, there is somewhere for you, however you would like to study today.

What kind of space would suit you right now?

The Library offers a wide variety of spaces for you to choose from.  You could sit together around a computer table on the ground floor, borrow a laptop or bring your own device and work together in one of our popular American diner booths, drop into a meeting pod and enjoy a quieter study experience where your conversations will be baffled from escaping into the outside world, luxuriate in our executive chairs on the far side of the ground floor overlooking Ravelin Park for a more relaxed experience, or simply crash in one of the soft seating areas on the first floor and chat in greater comfort.
