Study, social & chill out spaces
The Hive includes different working areas; silent work areas for individual silent study, a quiet work area for individual study and a general work area where collaborative working and discussion are permitted. We also have a small room that can be booked by small groups or individuals for study.
There is a dedicated study zone for students studying degree, degree-level and post-graduate courses.
Please show consideration for other library users and keep noise at an appropriate level. Drinks are permitted throughout The Hive (hot drinks must have a lid) and no hot food is allowed.
