Access

Entrance to the library is via the Vernon Square ground floor corridor. Wheelchair access is available to each room of the library except for the current journals area.

While the library is accessible, we will retrieve books from shelves that people find inaccessible for whatever reason – such as vertigo, or physical disability. Please do not hesitate to tell the library staff where you would require adjustments to exploit the full benefit of the collection. The staff are committed to offering an equal service to visitors.

The Institute’s  Support for Neurodiverse Students webpage has details of further support available.
