Designed with you in mind. New collaborative study space at Marj.
23 October 2023
Designed with you in mind.
The newly refurbished third floor of the Marjorie Robinson Library Rooms is now open. Following student feedback gathered through observational studies, surveys and interviews, we wanted to create a contemporary, comfortable and inspiring environment for you to work in. With this in mind, over the past few months we have transformed the floor into a collaborative space suited to a wide range of different study activities. Whether you’re practising presentations, working on group projects, working individually together, taking part in a seminar or listening to a lecture online, the floor offers a mix of furniture options so you can choose the best for you.
Across the week of 23-27October, we're giving away a different freebie every day. Visit the Marjorie Robinson Library Rooms to pick up yours while stocks last.
