Group Study Room

Bookings can be made for up to 8 people in the group study room. Sessions run for 2 hours*. Only one person per group needs to make the booking for the Group Study Room (please book 1 seat only on the online booking calendar). You can make multiple bookings on the same day.

Two different groups can book to use one table each in the same booking slot - please use any available table for your group when you arrive at the start of your booking. You may continue to occupy the same table if you have back-to-back bookings on the same day.

Please remember to tidy up and take all belongings with you at the end of your booking, to allow the next booked group to use the available tables after.

Please be aware that other library users need to walk through the room to get to the Single Study Rooms at the far end - you may be disturbed by doors opening and people entering the space, and we ask that you please be mindful, courteous, and respectful of your fellow library users if this happens.

(*the final booking slot is 1 hour 45 minutes on weekdays and 1 hour 30 minutes on Saturdays, as bookings must fit within the opening hours of the South Wing 3 Study Hub) 

Single Study Rooms

Single study rooms are bookable for 2 hour slots. Single Study Room 1 contains a desk and a chair, and has a window facing south outside. Single Study Room 2 has no window, but both have a glass front that allow light into the room from outside, and mean that users in these rooms can be seen by users of the Group Study Room.

Assistive Technology PC

Single Study Room 2 also contains a PC. This PC can be used by students registered with the Disability Resource Centre at Cambridge. 

It has the following Assistive Technology on:

  • Dolphin Supernova
