Sometimes campus doesn’t feel like the right environment to study in after a day of lectures. There are also times when you just want to change things up a bit. Thankfully, there are other study spaces around our campuses to enjoy. Why not switch up your study routine and head to one of these spots this week?

The Old Fire Station

The Old Fire Station is a small cosy café and brewery just across the road from our Maxwell Building, on Peel Park Campus. There’s usually a nice steady noise level that doesn’t interrupt your focus. It tends to be quite quiet in the morning and gets busy around lunchtime, so if you want a calmer atmosphere come before 12:00noon or after 14:00. 

Study snacks: if you’re feeling peckish you’re in luck as they serve an array of food including freshly baked goods and sandwiches

Facilities include: Wi-Fi and plug sockets
