Student studying on laptop

We know the Easter term is a busy period for studying and exams, and you can expect Bill Bryson Library and our other study spaces to be at their busiest. To support you with finding study spaces, we have arranged additional rooms to be available as pop-up library study spaces for you to use across the University campus in the buildings listed below.

Locations and availability 

Please check the availability dates and times below carefully. Most rooms are only available during the exam periods, and you may find them suitable spaces to use to sit an online exam. 

Unless stated, all rooms are available Monday-Friday between 8.30am-6pm (closed on bank holidays).

Things you need to know 

  • All the rooms should be considered quiet study spaces, with minimal conversation. Please leave them clean and tidy, ready for the next students. 
  • Come ready charged! Most of the desks do not have power to them - if you intend to work on a laptop, please make sure it is fully charged before you visit. The University Wi-Fi network is available within the buildings. 
  • These spaces will be self-service areas – should you have any queries whilst you are there, you can contact the Library through our live chat service.
