Warm study spaces
The Information Commons (IC) and The Diamond are open 24/7 with a variety of rooms for groups and individuals. Our spaces are heated throughout winter if you need a comfortable place to study.
The Garden Room is a space for student wellbeing and relaxation; it is situated on the Ground floor of the Information Commons. The Garden Room offers students a comfortable, relaxing break from their studies and also serves to encourage students to take regular study breaks.
