In November 2024, we interviewed 14 students with lived experience of disability or neurodivergence, and asked them to tell us about using the library. We used what they told us to make changes, which have made the library a better place for everyone. You can find more information in the leaflet below, but the main improvements we made were:
- Creating the Whisper Zone on the first floor of the Library, which includes a trial of bookable study spaces
- Significant updates to the Access For All guide. These updates include information about parking on campus and access routes to the building; a list of our services in a single place to make them easier to find; and information about study spaces to help guide students to a space that works for them.
- Increasing the amount of ergonomic equipment available from the Library for loan to all students.
- Bookable library tours were launched in the Autumn term
