COLLEGE FACILITIES

Eat, Drink, Learn and Stay Healthy

Our Learning Resource Centres (LRC) are at the heart of learning for students, helping students to fulfil their potential and access the knowledge and resources they need. At our Croydon campus, the LRC is based over three floors with staff available on each floor, and a welcome desk on the 2nd floor for in-depth queries.

Staff are always available to help with referencing, Athens databases and finding appropriate resources should you need it, or you can book a 1:1 session with a Subject Librarian to focus in depth on any of these areas. Wi-Fi is available throughout the LRC, along

To maintain a clean and pleasant study environment for all users, please eat in the allocated areas outside of the LRCs, as food and drink are not permitted in our centres, with the exception of bottled water.
