We are keen to provide study spaces for those with no alternative, suitable place to study. As with all organisations at this time, the requirement to keep our users and our staff safe is paramount. We have, therefore, only a very limited number of spaces and have had to restrict the amount of time that can be booked to allow slots to as many users as possible.

• PCs are available for advanced bookings only to users. Currently, we are able to offer PC’s for use between 09:00 – 16:45 Monday to Fridays 
• Time slots of between 30 minutes to 3 hours, extendable if space not booked by another user 
• Sessions can be extended throughout the day - you will receive an alert to let you know your time is running low
• Can return on the same day 
• Bookings can be made up to 7 days ahead
