The Library@URS
During the Library refurbishment, study spaces, Café Libro, most Library services, the Course Collection, subject Liaison Librarians, Study Advice, Maths Support, and the IT Service Desk have been relocated to the adjacent URS Building (Library@URS).
There are a variety of study areas - group, quiet and silent - on the ground and 2nd floors of the URS Building.
The Library
In autumn 2018 some areas of the refurbished ground and first floors of the Library Building were reopened, including some study space. Please note, building work on these and other floors will continue and will sometimes be noisy or disruptive. Therefore the study space and services arrangements in Library@URS will remain in place for the whole of the academic year 2018/2019.
RUSU study spaces
The Students’ Union provides a couple of spaces for individual or group working – The Study and The Study @ TOB2. To coincide with the ‘RUSU Says Revise’ campaign, additional study space has been made available for the 2019 Summer term. Find a timetable of available space here.
