Find a study seat

'Find a study seat' shows desk availability in libraries and library managed study centres. Counts of available study seats are carried out regularly by library staff, from Monday to Friday, during assessment periods.

Although 'find a study seat' does not show live, real-time desk availability, the data is correct at the time of counting and gives you an idea of how busy study spaces are. The time and date of the last count is shown alongside the availability. We define an available study seat as a chair and desk space that is clear of belongings. The tool will need to access your device's location to show the nearest free study desks. This data is not used for any other purpose. You can sort buildings alphabetically or by proximity to your location. Rooms included in 'Find a study seat' are limited to libraries and library managed study centres.
