Learning Community Building
The Free Reading Hall plays a vital role in building a sense of academic community among students. By providing a space where collaborative learning is encouraged, it helps break down the isolation that can sometimes accompany individual study. This environment fosters the development of academic support networks and creates opportunities for cross-disciplinary learning and friendship formation.

The availability of both environments ensures that all students can find spaces that match their current learning needs.
