Three images of the refurbished space. Text reads Level 5, new look.
Level 5 has always been a fan favourite for users who prefer peaceful study space. We have reorganised the area to provide 40 additional study spaces and created a beautiful display area to showcase our resources. You will still find luscious greenery both inside and on view from the windows.
