Are you gearing up for the exam season? So are we! We know that study space provision is hugely important during the revision and exam period, so this is why we’ve been busy expanding our seating and arranging extended opening hours in our study centres across campus.
Here’s a brief to guide to the improvements we’ve made and the study spaces that are available for you over the next month or so. There are a few changes to watch out for.
Streatham Campus:
Forum Library:
24/7 availability as usual (swipe access after 20.00 on week days, 18.00 at the weekend)
More seating! This week we’ve added 44 brand new study spaces, split between the Law Library (Level -1) and Level +1. This is in addition to the new seats in Express Collections added earlier this year.
Seminar Room access via the Library. From 09.00 on Friday 27th April the Forum Seminar Rooms on levels 0 and +1 will become part of the Library, further expanding the study spaces that are available to you 24/7. Remember to enter and exit these rooms via the Library (through the doors by the computer clusters) not via the Forum.

Study smart:
Follow these tips to help you and fellow students get the most out of our study spaces:
1) Use one seat when working; leave enough room for someone else to sit and work
Always leave a card when you take a break and return within 1 hour
2) It is OK to take a break for about an hour (60 minutes) if you are working in the library for a long time; but always return promptly within one hour. leave one of our Taking a Break cards so others know you are coming back.
3) Remember the Library is a public space! Always take valuables with you or lock them safely in a Forum Locker.
