The Student Learning Centre (SLC) is a specialist, supported teaching/learning area made up of nine bays and a large open area. Some bays consist of a large table which seats up to 10 people plus one computer (Mac or Windows) with a large monitor, which makes these bays ideal for group work or for quiet individual work.

Other bays consist of 4 computers (Mac or Windows) like a mini lab which makes these ideal for either individual or group work - where each person requires a computer work.

The SLC can be used in a group situation, lecture/tutor situation, for a group project or individual purposes. Bookings can be made for Bays and/or computers as well as portable equipment.
