Accessing and Using Study Spaces

Penryn Campus Library

During term time, Penryn Campus Library offers 24/7 study space, access to collections and IT facilities. Our more bustling, larger library is split into different sections — sit down and study within whichever coloured area suits your way of working. There are height adjustable desks in every study zone:

Red Area

Our main space for group work. This a busier, more informal space for collaboration with large tables, booths and large displays you can connect to your laptop.

Green area

A casual work area on the first floor for solo or group study. Includes desks, tables, sofas and arm chairs.

Yellow area

A quieter space for individual study, though still with some background noise for those who don't enjoy working in complete silence.

Blue area

Penryn Campus Library's quiet study area, including our reading room. This section is for deep work. We ask for silence here.

Bookable group study rooms

Use for collaborative project work. These rooms must be booked in advanced as they are very popular.

Bookable silent study spaces

For those who like to plan in advance, some of our silent study spaces available to book. These desks are in our small study rooms (up to 8 people).
