Our study facilities have been given a major refurbishment thanks to support from the Social Investment Fund and the John Ramplin Charitable Trust.
+ What's happened?
The large room on the second floor of the Library has long been a quiet place for people to study, revise, and work remotely. However, while popular, in recent years the space had become somewhat tired, and it was badly in need of an upgrade.
Support from SIF and the John Ramplin Trust has funded new lighting, a new carpet, and lots more improvements. It’s a big first step towards transforming the Hayward Room into a world-class learning space.
The upgraded Hayward Room is open now – come along and see for yourself!
+ What happens next?
This refurb is stage one. The next step will be to replace our existing furniture with new ‘study pods’ – high-quality chairs and tables with built-in lighting and charging ports. These will be a huge improvement, and will also double the capacity of the room. The end result will be a state-of-the-art learning space which the whole community can access free of charge, all year round.
We have one study pod already, thanks to the generous support of OfficeMaker. We're now actively seeking sponsorship for seven more. If you or your organisation might be interested in sponsoring a study pod, please get in touch on [email protected]
We’d like to say a very big thank you to the Social Investment Fund and the John Ramplin Charitable Trust for making this upgrade possible.
