The Riverside Café in Dunelm House has 30 study spaces available to all Durham University students for individual study who may find it easier to access due to its location within the city.
The room is open 9am until 5pm Monday to Friday.
Seats are allocated on a first come, first served basis, with no fixed timeslots.
Some study space may have access to power points but these are limited. Dunelm House is on the Universities Wi-Fi network so you should be able to sign in like anywhere else in University estates.
The space will be monitored regularly throughout the day by Durham Students’ Union staff.
