      The Green Zones of the University library have limited seating and space for students with their own laptops. Once the larger tables are taken there are only a couple of group sofas are left for use. More tables, chairs, and sofas need to be added to be able to fit more students in.

    4:09pm on 7 Feb 20 PASSED - the Union and the University have been working hard to identify and create new social learning, study and seating spaces for students both within the library and outside it. Blends has been extended across the balcony in the Academy with more seating & power points than ever and the library have added more study areas and ad hoc seating, including individual study pods and bean bags.
