Working spaces for PGRs
There are over 500 PCs and 60 Macs available to ALL members of the University located in the Library (accessible by visiting level 4 of the Schwann Building) and in the 24/7 computer suite located near the Santander Bank branch on level 4 of the Schwann Building.
There is a PGR-specific computer room located on level five in the Library, room SB5/02 (Schwann Building, level 5, room 2). Entry is accessed by scanning your Library card. The Library also has bookable group study areas, group study rooms and presentation rooms, which can be booked here.
For a more informal working space visit Scholar’s Rest on level five of the Schwann Building.

If you do not require a computer or are using your own device, there are plenty of other areas to work including levels 4 and 5 of Student Central, levels 3-7 in the Oastler Building and the many cafés located around campus.
