REF: 66-2410-3529917 - More Study Spaces in Town

Your comment: I believe there should be more study spaces available in town. A majority of students live in town and the workstation is simply too small. Due to the closure of old college a lot of spaces were lost. Repurposing buildings owned by the uni for this would be a cost effective way of making study spaces more accessible for people who can't always get up to campus

Our response:

I’m afraid we don’t own many buildings in town anymore, and most of what we own in town has been consumed by the Old College Project. 10 Laura Place is the only property that is owned by the University in town not included in that project, and that is currently not available to be used for this purpose because it is dedicated teaching and research space for the Department of Theatre, Film and Television Studies. The Old College will, in due course, have additional 24-7 student space as part of its offering, and the current plan is to have the Workstation available to students until the Old College opens, at least. Exploratory enquiries into expanding the Workstation capacity have been discussed, but are unlikely to progress at this time.

I hope this helps, but if you require anything further please do get in touch.
