Level 5 - works to enhance study environment

Level 5 (silent floor) of Frenchay Campus Library is partially closed due to ongoing works to improve study spaces. Works are due to complete in early 2026.

What to expect:

  • Noise and disruption between 08:00 and 16:00, Monday to Friday
  • Some study areas may be inaccessible during this time
  • Law resources (including books in the 340–349 sequence, the Law Search Area, Law Journals, and Law Reports) are temporarily inaccessible
  • A limited selection of high-use law material remains available on Level 3, including the Halsbury’s Laws of England collection. Use Library search to check the availability of law titles and alternative formats
  • Books and journals for other subjects on Level 5 including architecture, film studies, literature, and history are available as usual.

We apologise for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience while we work to enhance study environments.
