Accessible study rooms

  • Accessible study rooms may be booked by students registered with the University Disability Services

  • You can book a maximum of 3 hours in one day

  • To book the maximum of 3 hours so that the hours immediately follow each other, for example from 10:00 - 13:00, you will need to book a 1 hour slot and a 2 hour slot

    • Example of booking a room for 3 hours from 10:00 - 13:00

      Book a 2 hour slot from 10:00 - 12:00
      Book a 1 hour slot from 12:00 - 13:00
      At the end of each booked slot in your 3 hours, you will have to come out of the room and present your card to the door control outside the room. Failure to present your card to the door control outside the room may mean that your booking is then cancelled as you will appear as a no show and someone else can then book the room during the time that you had booked it for.

      • Eligible users can book up to four weeks in advance

  • All rooms have as standard a computer with two monitors, a height adjustable desk and an adjustable chair, a lamp, whiteboards and automatic doors

  • Please feel free to use dictation software in all rooms across all floors. Study rooms (main Library) 309, 405 and 505 are situated on quiet floors so you may prefer to use 114 or Floor 2, if available
