Medical Library Ground Floor Redevelopment

We are delighted to announce that the redevelopment of the ground floor in the Medical Library is now complete.  You will now find a modern and bright flexible collaborative space with a variety of different types of furniture which supports study and group study.  In addition, a brand new 43-seater computer classroom has been created which can be used anytime it has not been booked for teaching.  We are looking forward to welcoming you to this new space and hope that you enjoy using it!
