Library spaces

The university library provides a variety of study spaces to suit different needs. Silent areas are available for focused, individual work, while quiet zones offer a balanced environment with minimal distractions. For group work and discussion, open collaborative spaces are designed to support teamwork and idea-sharing.

Bookable rooms are available for meetings, group study sessions, and presentations, equipped with whiteboards and screens to help facilitate your work.

To secure a space that suits your needs, check availability and book online in advance.
