Happy New Year

The LRC team just wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year! 

As I'm sure you are all aware, it's that time of year for exams - so that means revision!  If you need a place to study remember the LRC is open from 8.15am every day and closes at 5.15pm on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays.  We have a silent study area on the lower level for those of you needing some peace and a 'quiet' study area on the upper level if you prefer a bit of background noise!
