Information Commons: our all-in-one study space
Our Information Commons is a brand new, futuristic building that was born out of completely fresh thinking about learning resources for the 21st century student.
Open 24/7
Information Commons contains a whole range of study experiences within one spectacular location. And the great thing is, it's open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You just need your University ID card to get in.
Self-service technology gives you access to resources any time of day or night, and there are also staff available if you need assistance.
What's in it for me?
It's a fantastic space for independent study, and the fact that it's always open means you go when it suits you.
The latest IT resources are combined with library facilities and a range of study spaces.
Spread over six spacious levels, you'll find:
- Over 1,300 study spaces
- Wi-Fi (wireless) access, so bring your laptop
- Fully networked PCs
- Bookable rooms for individual or group study
- Silent study areas
- Comfy sofas for informal study and reading
- Library resources – up to 100,000 volumes of reference and short-loan books
- Access to the library's e-collections and journals
