Places in all rooms are available on a first come, first served basis. However, we also maintain and encourage a silent working environment, and students who are in violation of this are asked to leave.

Whilst we understand the need for group working, we maintain a silent, independent study environment in all of our rooms. If you require collaborative working with access to a PC, we recommend visiting LRC Upper Bagnall for unsupervised group work. If your group work does not require a PC, then we recommend visiting Greenhouse or Courtyard for this type of working.
