New look Level E

This summer, Level E (2nd floor) of the Hugh Owen Library has been transformed.

We have moved staff and student spaces around to create a larger student space and more study spaces in the southwest corner of the library. The new student study area has views over the town to the sea and includes 6 new group study rooms. 

Here are some sneak peeks as the work took place:
