Cafes, canteens and microwaves 

There are plenty of places to get food on campus, from vending machines to Costa and our canteen. However, if you are wanting to save money, you can also bring your own food to heat up in microwaves. These can be found in the library on floors one and two where you can heat up your food. You can also get just hot water from any of the cafes on campus.  

Study Space booking 

Many of the computer spaces in Fountains and Holgate are available on a walk-in basis, but you can book a space to ensure you have a space by reserving it. Spaces can be booked here. Where you can book single and group spaces and places depending on whether you need a computer or not.  

Need to borrow equipment? 

You can borrow a laptop for 3 days directly from Fountains and Holgate from the loan lockers.

Then you can request one through the media loans system.
