Assistive workareas

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

Booking Guidelines

You can book up to 3 hours per day.
Rooms in the Main Library are open from 08:00 - 22:00
Booking Consecutive Hours:
- To book 3 consecutive hours (e.g., 10:00–13:00), you’ll need to combine a 1-hour slot and a 2-hour slot.
  Example:
  - Book a 2-hour slot from 10:00–12:00
  - Then book a 1-hour slot from 12:00–13:00
- Important: At the end of each slot, you must exit the room and present your card to the door control to confirm your continued use. Failure to present your card to the door control outside the room may mean that your booking is cancelled as you will appear as a no show. Someone else can then book the room during the time that you had booked it for.
- Advance Booking: Eligible users can book rooms up to four weeks in advance.
- Remember: Keep a note of your booking details to ensure you arrive at the correct date and time.
