What is the LRC?

The Learning Resource Centre (LRC) comprises three silent study areas in the college: Lower Bagnall LRC, Whitehouse LRC and the Library. These areas are great spaces to focus inbetween lessons. We also provide physical and online resources, as well as many other services which you may choose to use throughout your time at college.

What's in the LRCs?

Across Lower Bagnall and Whitehouse we have over 240 computers for you to use, as well as printers and chromebooks that are available to borrow in the Library on a first-come-first-serve basis. We also have a wide range of resources in the Library for you to borrow - there will be more detail of this in the second induction.

How do you study in an LRC?

You don't need to book a seat or a computer, it's first-come-first-serve. All of the LRCs are silent, independent study only and we ask that you don't eat in these rooms. Make sure if you are bringing a drink that it has a secure lid. If you need to do group work, please use Courtyard, Greenhouse or Upper Bagnall.

What times are we open and when do we close?

Opening:

Lower Bagnall LRC : 8am (Mon-Fri)

Whitehouse LRC : 8:30am (Mon-Fri)

Library : 8am (Mon-Fri)

Closing:

Lower Bagnall LRC : 5:30pm (Mon-Thurs) 4:15 (Fri)

Whitehouse LRC : 4pm (Mon-Thurs) 3:30 (Fri)

Why can the LRCs close sometimes?

Sometimes exams take place in these rooms which can lead to closure. We always do our best to provide alternative space for students, just make sure to read college news for up-to-date notices.

If you have any questions about an exam you are taking, please contact Registry.

How can you get support in the LRC?

We have a team of LRC staff ready to support you. Just ask at any of the desks and we will do our best to help, or email us at lrc@farnborough.ac.uk
