Research Commons
The Research Commons (on Level 5 of Western Bank Library) is an interdisciplinary, open space designed for collaborative discussion and research. The Research Commons is designed to facilitate creative working in a neutral space, and can be used for general study or hosting research events.
Please note that the Research Commons will not be bookable from 28 April - 16 June so that we can prioritise the space for study during the exam and assessment period.
