Kingston Hill
Learning Resources Centre
Kingston Hill's Learning Resources Centre (LRC) houses libraries, study spaces and computer facilities. A wide range of resources, including texts, periodicals, journals and newspapers, is available.
The dedicated business and law library holds major texts, periodicals and computer learning packages, which can be accessed from over 200 networked workstations. Students can also use the Bloomberg trading room where different trading techniques can be applied in practice with real live data. Kingston University is one of only a small number of universities across the UK that have introduced a Bloomberg trading room.
The specialist music library contains a comprehensive collection of books, anthologies, periodicals, scores, sheet music, records and CDs. The listening stations and headphones mean you can check out the records and CDs on-site. There is also a wide range of education and healthcare publications.
The Nightingale Centre – a £5 million redevelopment of the LRC which opened in 2008 – boasts a variety of learning spaces, with group study rooms, 638 individual study places and 229 fixed computers. A 60-seat learning café provides a place to study and socialise. The Centre is is named after Florence Nightingale (1820–1910) who was a regular visitor to Kingston Hill.
Extra help and information is available for students with disabilities or special needs. The LRC's Adaptive Technology Room has specialist enabling software and equipment.
