Faculty of Arts Building

The History Department is located on the third floor of the new Faculty of Arts Building which opened on 6th December 2021. We hope that students will enjoy studying and meeting in the new space!

More information about the building and detailed floor plans are available at: https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/arts/staffintranet/artsbuilding/fabuserguide/

Study Spaces

There are student study spaces in many of the buildings across campus. Dedicated PGR and Department/Faculty study spaces are as follows:

FAB History Department Study Space

The following study spaces/hot desks are available for PhD students and can be seen on the floor three building plans

Cluster C: FAB3.58 & FAB3.46 - Post-doc and PG students only

Cluster B: FAB3.74 & FAB3.70 - All students (quiet study)

Please note that area FAB 3.46 is hot desk area shared with History postdocs who can use any free desk to study.

Note that the PGR hot desk area indicated in cluster A FAB 3.15 is not a PhD study space area; this is an error on the floorplan.

FAB CADRE Study Spaces

The Research Zone on the 2nd floor of the Faculty of Arts building combines allocated desks and hot desks. It is open to Arts PGRs only. It is a predominantly quiet study space, although contains a meeting pod at one end and a coffee table at the other.

Wolfson Research Exchange

Situated across the bridge in the Floor 3 extension of the Library is the Wolfson Research Exchange, or REx. It contains a mixture of quiet and social study space, including desktop computers, PGR lockers, and a kitchenette and hot water point.

Adjacent to the REx are three seminar rooms in which PGR events are commonly held.

The Postgrad Hub

The Postgrad Hub is the heart of the Library postgraduate community. It is open to all postgraduate students at Warwick, and has facilities for independent and group study, presentations, meetings and workshops.

The Postgrad Hub holds regular events each week such as PG Tips, as well as one-off cultural events throughout the year.

In addition to its study areas, the Postgrad Hub also acts as an informal space to chat and socialise with peers, with a relaxation room for you to get some space away from your study to recharge and refresh.

The Postgrad Hub is located on Floor 2 of the Junction building.
