About this Event

During the current lockdown from 6 January 20201, LUU will remain open for essential services and will also be accommodating a limited number of study spaces for University of Leeds students in some of our spaces. Please limit your number of bookings to a maximum of 1 slot per day and no more than 2 per week to allow others access to this space.

Please use the University’s coronavirus testing facility regularly if you use our study space.

Further details on-campus requirements and how to book an asymptomatic test are available at the University's coronavirus website

For the period of the national restrictions, government guidance advises that face coverings should be worn in LUU at all times. This means you must now wear your mask while studying, as well as when you enter and move around the Union.

Studying at LUU Common Ground.

Spaces are available for silent individual study only.

The study space you book will be yours for the full duration of your booking, you may enter and leave at any time during your session but please do let our staff know when you leave so that we can re-assign your space to any walk-ins.

Please limit your bookings to two sessions per week - further dates will be added on a daily basis.

We will confirm your booking by email or QR scanners – please bring your booking confirmation as a PDF or use the Eventbrite app for us to scan you in on your arrival.
