Availability is based on maintaining a 33% student open access rate to rooms during core hours (09.00 - 17.00). In any one day at least one room is available to book for at least 4 hours.

Due to high demand, the rooms are only available for teaching and training purposes and cannot be booked for interviews or meetings. This includes meetings that may be related to the provision of training and/or education events.

We do not recommend using our rooms for exams. We cannot guarantee noise levels – Training Room 1 is adjacent to the library issue desk which can be busy and none of our rooms are sound-proof. 

We encourage you to test our set-up in advance to ensure it will suit your needs.

Rooms may only be booked up to 8 weeks in advance.

Imperial students may book two solo study sessions in any seven days (maximum booking of two hours allowed per day.)  These bookings may not be made more than one week in advance.

Access

Our training rooms are kept locked and will only be accessible when the library is staffed.

All attendees, and in particular the trainer(s), should be registered with the library, if eligible, prior to the session taking place. This will ensure delays are avoided on entering the library. As the library is access controlled, attendees who have not registered with the library in advance will not be able to enter the library until 09.00. 

For participants who are not eligible for library membership, the library has guest cards to allow access during the day. It is the responsibility of the trainer or organiser to collect and return all guest cards at the end of the session.

Food and drink

Hot and/or smelly food and drinks without lids may not be consumed or brought into the library. Users doing so will be required to either remove their food and drink from the library or surrender it for disposal.

Cancellations

To cancel a booking, please let the library know as soon as possible, by sending an email to librarycw@imperial.ac.uk.

If participants have not arrived within 15 minutes of the start time of the booking, then the library will cancel the booking and make the room available for other users.

The library reserves the right to decline any booking request.
