Information about study spaces across the Loughborough campus

Here at the University, we have a variety of spaces across the campus which serve as ideal locations for students to study independently and collaboratively.

Library

One of our largest spaces is the University Library. From group study spaces to quiet and even silent areas, across its four Levels there’s a suitable space for your needs with a range of facilities. Some spaces are available to book in advance if you want to ensure the space you need is available for you.

Currently, the Library is operating on its normal term-time opening hours:
- Monday to Friday: 8.30am-2am
- Saturday: 9am-2am
- Sunday: 10am-2am

More information can be found on the Library webpages.
