ROSEMARY MURRAY LIBRARY
The beautiful library is spacious, well-stocked, open 24 hours a day and has a relaxed atmosphere. The librarians are around during the week and there is tea and coffee in the library office every Wednesday from 3.00 to 3.30pm during Michaelmas and Lent term, and from 11.00 to 11.30am everyday during Easter Term. The library is a silent study space, and some students prefer to study in their rooms, the JCR, the bar or the lovely gardens instead.

The College has tennis and squash courts which are available to be booked. The tennis courts are just by the Storey’s Way carpark, and the squash courts are found through the door by the pigeonholes. These are available for use all-year round for free – also booked through the RMS system. Really popular with students in the summer term: a great break from revision! Please get in touch with the JCR Sports Officer for more information.

The Coach House is a great space for arts and crafts, committee meetings, or as a space to relax, meditate and escape your busy life. It is found between the tennis courts, Pearl House, and the Kaetsu centre. Upon booking the Coach House through RMS, you can get the code to open the characteristic blue door from your Logistics Officer, or from the Porters. Feel free to chat to your Arts Officer about the arts and crafts supplies!
