Brand new study pods are here!

We are excited to announce four brand new study pods on campus, designed specifically for collaborative student group work.

These spaces are built for teamwork, so group sizes are limited to 4-5 students per pod.

They can be booked one week in advance, or on the spot, if free.

As you can see, Hayley & Kaitlyn, our wonderful student association testing them out and getting ready for the new academic year.
