Refreshment room

Located on the first floor of the Clifford Whitworth building, the Refreshment Room is the perfect space for students to take a quick respite from studies and enjoy some food. With a range of seating options and a selection of leisure reading to browse, the Refreshment Room is ideal for relaxing and taking in the views across Peel Park campus.

Filled with natural light, this bright, open and multifunctional space offers a calming alternative to other library spaces. The Refreshment Room is a space ideal for preparing and eating food brought in from home. Making use of it is a great way to save money whilst studying in the library! Inside you'll find a range of kitchen facilities including a fridge, dishwasher, two microwaves and a boiling water tap.

Please note: To ensure the Refreshment Room remains a healthy and hygienic space for all students to enjoy we kindly ask those who make use of the space to clean up after themselves when they are finished.

Parent and Child study room (Room 2)

The Parent and Child study room is located on ground floor of the Clifford Whitworth Library. The room may be booked by students who need to have their children with them while they study. The room contains children's books, colouring books, and colourful posters to help keep the child occupied while the parent studies. The room is equipped with a PC, a desk, a projector, and a whiteboard.

To book the room, visit the Seat and Space Bookings system and select the ‘Parent and Child Study Room’ category.
