Rediscovered the reopened Library’s 5th Floor Silent Study zone? Its lighting has been upgraded with more energy efficient units, improving the green credentials of the building. Lights automatically switch off if no movement is detected. (Just wave your arm if they turn off because you sit really still when you are working). You can get WiFi for your laptops. There are additional power sockets in Rooms 500, 501, 502 and 508 and in the near future, data plug-in places.
You may now consult 5th Floor reference material yourself again.
Rewiring Project to be continued
The 5th Floor improvements were part of the University’s long-term Library Rewiring Project 2011-2014. We installed a new power distribution system last year and will rewire the Library floor by floor. The next phase begins after the exam period when the 5th Floor will again be closed to Library users.
