PGR Workrooms and Other Workspaces

Law School PGR Workrooms

There are a number of workspaces for Law School PGR students in the Law School PGR Workrooms. The PGR Workrooms are all multiple-occupancy, and some of the workspaces include University-managed desktop PCs that can be used by any PGR student with their University ID and login and some of the workspaces include monitors and peripherals that can be used by any PGR student by connecting their laptop. The PGR Workrooms are S1.15 (capacity 12) and S1.16 (capacity 8), located on the first-floor in the centre of the Law School.

All users of the PGR Workrooms must observe the following:

• All workspaces are operated as hot-desks, available on a first-come first-served basis from the start of each day
• Priority for use of the height-adjustable desks is for students with a physical need; students using a height-adjustable desk but without a need for it must move to an alternative desk if requested to do so by another student
• Do not 'claim' a workspace for sole use for any longer than a day; remove all personal belongings from the room at the end of each day
• Do not use more than one desk; do not spread personal belongings onto another desk
• Do not rearrange the furniture in the room
• Do not consume food in the room
• Do not give access to a PGR Workroom to anyone else
• Recognise that a PGR Workroom is a communal workspace, and anything that might disturb other occupants of the room must be kept to a minimum
• Report any problems to

If all of the spaces in the Law School PGR Workrooms are in use, or if a different type of workspace is needed, there are several alternative PGR workspaces (listed below) that are available.
 

Accessible Study Rooms

Unfortunately there is insufficient space in the Law School to provide accessible study space for students with a disability or other accessibility needs, other than the two height-adjustable desks available in S1.15 and the two height-adjustable desks available in S1.16. However, the University provides a range of Accessible Study Rooms available to be booked by students registered with the University Disability Services. These rooms are located in the Library, the Postgrad Hub, and the University House Learning Grid (more details of these spaces are below). Details of the rooms and how to book them are available on the Library website.
 

Workspace for GTA Sessional Tutors

PGR students employed as a GTA Sessional Tutor in the Law School can book the Law School's locally-timetabled meeting room (S0.05a), teaching rooms (S0.03, S0.04, S1.14, S2.12), and Research Room (S2.09) if they need a space for work related to their GTA duties, e.g. delivering online classes, meeting with students, marking, engaging with online training courses. Bookings for seminar teaching, departmental committees, research seminars, and other regular departmental business take priority in these rooms, and the majority of those bookings are added in September each year ahead of the start of the academic year, but any available slots after those bookings are made are available for GTA Sessional Tutors to request by using the online calendar booking tool.

If any GTA Sessional Tutor is unable to find appropriate space for work related to their GTA duties, they should contact with details of what they need at the earliest possible opportunity.
