New sensory rooms now open in the library

Published: 30/04/2025

We’re excited to introduce our brand new Glow Sensory Rooms at the Clifton and Brackenhurst libraries.

These rooms offer a calm and inclusive environment to support focus, relaxation and sensory regulation. They have been designed with neurodivergent students in mind but are open to anyone who would benefit from a peaceful retreat from the hustle of campus life. Soothing lighting, comfortable seating and a range of sensory tools are all used to help you regulate.

Following a competition to name the room, Glow Sensory Room was chosen by student Izzy Wileman. Thank you to everyone who entered, we had lots of fantastic suggestions.

Room locations:

• Clifton Library – First floor
• Brackenhurst Library – Room 001, towards the back of the library

Opening hours:

These rooms are open during regular library hours and no booking is required.

Tours of the rooms:

To help you familiarise yourself with the rooms, tours will be running Monday - Friday at 11 am, 1 pm, 3 pm and 6 pm. Quiet tours at 9 am are also available. Students can book by emailing libinfodiret@ntu.ac.uk or by visiting the Information Desk at the Clifton and Brackenhurst libraries.
