Get in your zone!

As we move into term 2, the Library gets busier as you get further into your studies. To make sure the environment is supportive of study, it’s important that noise levels are appropriate, and that everyone is respectful of one another in the space. Did you know the Library has 3 types of noise zone to cater for your needs?

Floors 1 and 2 offer collaboration spaces where you can do group and individual study. Quiet discussion is permitted, and you can take mobile calls here if you wish.

There are 2 silent study rooms on the floor 2 extension for those of you who prefer to work in silence.

The rest of the building is a quiet zone, including stairwells – this means you need to keep talking to a minimum and keep mobiles on silent so as not to disturb your peers.

Report noise disturbances

Breathing Space

We know things get busy in term 2, and sometimes relaxation time is needed. Have you visited the breathing space on floor 1? This area is specifically for those wanting a quiet moment away from work, with relaxation music, comfy chairs, and a leisure reading collection.

We really hope term 2 is a productive one for you, and thank you for respecting your Library and peers at this busy time.
