We are very excited to announce that the new study spaces on the Lower Ground Floor are now open! <\/span><\/p>\n

We know how hard it can be to find a study spot, so we listened to our students and added 358 new study spaces to the Main Library over the summer, as this blog has documented. Today we celebrated the grand opening of the Lower Ground Floor, which has been renovated for student use. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\"blog-1\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Bryan MacGregor, Director of User Services and Alec Edgecliffe-Johnson, President of the Edinburgh University Students\u2019 Association, did the honours, cutting the ribbon to officially open the new spaces. <\/span><\/p>\n

In the coming weeks we will be running competitions in the new space, so keep your eye on our <\/span>Facebook<\/span><\/u><\/a> and <\/span>Twitter<\/span><\/u><\/a> for the chance to win prizes! We would also love to hear your feedback about the new spaces, and about any further changes you want to see in the Library, so please get in touch via Facebook or Twitter, or use the survey forms we will be distributing in the Lower Ground Floor. <\/span><\/p>\n

We hope that these new study spaces will make the upcoming deadlines a little easier! <\/span><\/p>\n
