LIBRARY AND STUDY FACILITIES AT RCSI: Academic Year 2020-21
Overview
Ordinarily students can use RCSI libraries at either Beaumont or St Stephen’s Green campuses.
However, these are not ordinary times and complying with public health guidance on social distancing impacts the amount and availability of all spaces in RCSI such as lab, teaching, gym, restaurant and social spaces as well as library and study spaces. Library study space has decreased by 60-80% across sites because of government regulations.
