Drop-in Study

There are drop-in study spaces available in all BCU Libraries.

All study spaces at the School of Art and School of Jewellery Libraries are drop-in. 

In Curzon Library there are drop-in study spaces in Zone B on the ground floor, with a variety of open desks, fixed PCs, and study booths and in Room C103 on Level 1 of the library. There is additional drop-in study space just outside the Level 1 entrance of Curzon Library. 

In Curzon B Open Study Zone all spaces except rooms are available for drop-in study.

In Mary Seacole Library the Green Zone, near the Library Help Desk, has drop-in spaces. 

Single and Group Room Bookings

BCU students are able to make a maximum of 5 Single Study Room bookings and 5 Group Study Room bookings each week. This is to ensure equal access to these study spaces for all. 

Rooms are bookable for 2 hours. All other bookable spaces can be reserved for 3 hours. 

Individual Study Rooms are not soundproof so we request that you try to keep noise to a minimum. These rooms are for use by one person at a time. This is to ensure the library is a quiet and comfortable study space for all.

Group study space has high demand so please give priority to these room for group work, rather than individual use.

If a room has been booked but is not being used you are welcome to use the space, but if the person who has booked the space arrives you will have to relocate. 

BCU Staff are welcome to book open study spaces but rooms are only bookable by BCU students.
