    That’s cool but it could do with a break down of if those spaces are PC or laptop desks (or if there is a plug anywhere near by), many of my favourite old haunts got taken over by crappy computer clusters which no one use so there are becoming less and less space for laptop users.

      Just unplug a computer screen. Plug it back in when ur going of course!

    There are university network computers in the Catholic Chaplaincy which are open to all as are the twenty-four hour study facilities with free tea and coffee. As far as I know there is nothing like this anywhere on campus, maybe you could publicise this
