New 24/7 Informal Learning Space now open at Guy’s Campus

This week, we opened the brand-new Informal Learning Space in Guy’s Campus, created in response to feedback calling for more informal study areas.

It’s a fully accessible, flexible space on the ground floor of Addison House, which will give you more room to study, work with other students and relax while on campus.

The space is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and you can access it via the Henriette Raphael Building. Here you’ll find a mix of individual workstations, group tables, quiet corners and soft seating giving freedom to choose the environment that works best for you.

This new Informal Learning Space represents a thoughtful investment in the Guy’s Campus, creating a high quality environment that fully supports the way students want and need to study today. We’ve worked hard to blend modern, flexible design with the rich heritage of Addison House and Henriette Raphael Building to enhance the student experience and offer a welcoming, accessible place for students to work, collaborate and recharge.– Nick O’Donnell, Executive Director of Estates & Facilities

The project forms part of our ongoing commitment to improving facilities and study spaces across our health campuses.

The new Guy’s Informal Learning Space is a welcome and much needed addition particularly for our health and life science focused students whose study patterns are shaped by demanding clinical and academic commitments. This development marks an important step forward and reflects our continuing ambition to create the high quality learning environments our students deserve.– Professor Ajay Shah Executive Dean, Faculty of Life Sciences & Medicine

You can access the space using your King’s ID card now.
