COVID-19 latest updates

Updated Monday 28 February 2022

Central and campus library buildings are open to current Imperial students and staff, NHS staff, alumni and students with pre-arrival status or who are taking exam resits.

In line with College guidelines, we encourage you to wear a face covering when moving around our libraries, unless you are exempt.

We are monitoring library occupancy levels and ventilation, and study space at some of our libraries is reduced. 

At the Central Library we will continue to provide socially distanced seating on level 5, until 1 April, for those who wish to study in this environment.

Please respect guidance and stick to the maximum occupancy indicated for room bookings.

A queuing system is in place at Central Library when the building is very busy so remember to take all your belongings with you when you leave. If you are unable to enter the building further space may be available in our GoStudy spaces.
