A new overnight study space is opening for students, providing even more flexible study environments throughout the summer months.
Following user feedback, the university is offering dedicated overnight study spaces in the 502 Teaching Hub building until 14 September 2025.
The space will be open from 6pm to 8am, seven days a week. Users can access the building through the automatic doors at the main entrance, next to the Sphinx. University ID cards must be carried at all times for security purpose and and users are asked to use the check-in facility on the SafeZone app.
The study space which can accommodate up to 50 people on the ground floor with a further 200 study spaces in PC rooms and group study rooms. The group rooms can be booked out for three hours at a time via the reception desk.
Jitendra Inturi, deputy president of the Liverpool Guild of Students said:
As a postgraduate student myself, I feel it’s important to have a flexible and accessible study space 24/7 to support students with diverse schedules and commitments.
Having overnight study spaces in 502 building is a fantastic initiative as the libraries close early in summer. I’m hopeful this could be a lasting initiative that continues to grow in the coming years.
The Harold Cohen Library (HCL) is open Monday to Friday 9am to 9pm and Saturday to Sunday 9am to 6pm with the Sydney Jones Library (SJL) open Monday to Sunday 9am to 6pm.
Looking ahead to the 2025-2026 academic year, we're pleased to confirm that from September 2025, the SJL will be open from 8am to 10pm during term time, and the much-appreciated 24/7 library space will continue to be available in the HCL. Plus, for those crucial May assessments, the SJL will also offer overnight access.
