You tell us every year that the Library is one of your favourite study spaces on campus, but that space can be at a premium at peak times. we reimagined and repositioned the Book Nook, introduced many more individual and shared study pods, and refurbished our soft seating areas so you always have somewhere comfortable to sit.
From 7 am on Saturday 14 December until 6 am on Monday 16 December, the university computer network will be undergoing essential maintenance to ensure we continue to deliver a reliable high speed network. During this period, your access to Library and University services will experience some disruption.
On Wednesday 13 November 2024, the Library central heating boiler will be replaced. This vital infrastructure upgrade will ensure we heat the Library more efficiently and reliably while controlling our carbon footprint as the University works towards becoming carbon zero. This work is expected to last only for a few hours but you may notice some small changes on the day.
From Monday 30 September 2024, the Library Meeting Room (UL 0.12) will be being used for ID checks for international students. While these checks are carried out, we regret we cannot offer a dedicated postgraduate study space in the Library. I mentioned that this was likely back in June when the old Postgraduate Study Suite was turned into staff offices in preparation for the extension connecting the Library and Student Union to create a new student hub.
The University is embarking on an ambitious new project to join the University Library and Student Union buildings to create a luxurious new student hub featuring a diverse range of study spaces to suit all purposes and people. Alongside this, we are reviewing library space and focusing initially on a dedicated space for postgraduate study. From 15 July, the old Postgraduate Study Suite will be moving into a temporary new location as we begin this exciting work.
