One year later… and the Health Sciences Library is still one of our favourite study spots ⭐
 
This time last year, the group space in the Health Sciences Library was transformed into a collaborative learning area for you to study and relax on campus. This included:
 
✅ Improved accessibility
✅ Group study areas for different styles of learning
✅ New furniture – including comfortable seating and sofas
✅ Study pods and seating clusters
 
You don’t have to be a health sciences or medicine student to use the space either – all students can make use of this fantastic study space!
