The second floor can be reached either by stairs or the lift in the far left hand corner of the library. When taking the stairs or the lift, turn immediate right once on the first floor and proceed through the door in front of you.
The floor is arranged around a main open access IT lab (JG250) with corridors surrounding it. The lab also contains printing facilities.
The corridors contain further IT labs which are also used as teaching spaces. A water fountain is also available at the furthest end of the floor from where you entered.
After exiting the lift and through the door in front of you, you will only be able to turn immediate right. Beyond this is a fire door which marks the end of the library space. No access is available from this corridor into the rest of the James Graham building except at specific times.
