Where can you study while the Learning Commons is closed?
Published on 13 November 12
Although the Learning Commons remains closed, there are many quiet and secluded places that are perfect for private study, as well as bookable rooms for group study. But do you know where they are?
Damage to the internal glass in the Alan Gilbert Learning Commons has now been assessed, and work will soon be underway to solve the problem (you can read the full statement from the library here). But with the work likely to take several weeks to complete, we've put together a list of some of the less well known study areas around campus, to make sure you've got somewhere to work.
Libraries
The Main Library will be open 24/7 for the duration of the Learning Commons closure, offering PC clusters, individual and group study spaces.
