During this semester 24 hour opening will run for seven weeks starting on Sunday 18th April.
We have taken onboard feedback from students around our opening hours during the exam period so we have made several improvements. The building will be open for longer hours and students will have now have access to the stock on all four floors until 1 o’clock in the morning including Fridays. Students wishing to study early on Saturday morning will be given access from 6.00am.
