A big thank you to all the students who have responded to the 247 Study Space questionnaire. Your comments have been very positive and it’s great to hear that the space is being used.

A couple of people have queried why they need to leave the area at closing time and re-enter via Cooper Road. We do this to ensure the security of Library property so please comply with staff when they ask you to vacate this area at closing time.

The questionnaire is still available at the Loans Desk in the Dorothy Hill Physical Sciences and Engineering Library so please leave us your comments.
