Disability Support Study Rooms

You can book a Disability Support Room at Bill Bryson Library. These are individual study rooms, which are available to students and staff who are registered with the University’s Disability Support Service. There are four rooms available, located on Level 1 of the Library, and can be booked up to two weeks in advance.

There is a Disbility Support Room at the International Study Centre (ISC) Library. This available on a first come first served basis.

Timeslots available: We offer flexible timeslots for our Disability Support Rooms, between one and four hours in length.

Booking limits: You can book up to 20 hours per week in the Disability Support rooms. You can book a timeslot once it has already started (depending on availability). You can book any other study spaces in addition to the Disability Support Study Rooms.
