The Hive provides a mixture of fixed PCs and tables with power. All areas are designated as NON-SILENT STUDY (INCLUDING DISCUSSIONS) and is suitable for Mixed Mode Education (MME).
You need to pre-book a study space to visit the Library, including for borrowing books. Information on how to book a study space can be found here. You need to check-in within 30minutes of the booking start time otherwise your space will be released for others to book.
The booked study spaces are available for current students and staff only.
We have a Flexible Booking system, which means we match available slots each week to the demand.
Students and staff can book upto 14hrs in a single booking but can make multiple bookings, if needed. Bookings can be made in advance or on arrival. Please check-out to free up any unused time for other students.
To allow fair shares, group study rooms are limited to 3hrs per day for each student.
