Learning Facilities

Student Union Group Facilities

Located in the heart of the University Campus, the Student Union has a variety of spaces available within the Riverside Building.

If you like to study with a bit of a buzz around you, or if you’re looking for somewhere to work with your friends, then check out the Student Union Group Facilities located within the Riverside Building. Designed with a student-centred focus, there are a variety of informal, comfortable study areas to all students on campus, encouraging collaborative learning and group study. 

In these spaces there are PCs, study seats, group tables and printers. There are also bookable Project Pods and group rooms. The group rooms are fully equipped with a PC, large screen display, flipchart and whiteboard. The Project Pods are sofa style seating with an IT hub that includes a PC, large screen monitor, keyboard and mouse. You can also connect your own laptop to the IT hub. Students can use these rooms and Pods without a booking, but please check the daily booking sheets next to each space before doing so.

Although these group facilities can be used for solo study, if you prefer a quieter environment then consider studying in the Library. The Library layout ensures that it is well set up for quiet individual study and is a great place to get your head down and get that assignment finished.

These spaces are managed by the Student Union team:
