Level 4 Student Kitchen with microwaves and filtered water

The key elements to the student experience within Hub Central have been identified as an informal learning space which facilitates aspects of social learning; a library which is integrated in the learning process; services for students which are delivered face-to-face and on-line; and information technology facilities which encourage informal and flexible learning practices, with ongoing student-focussed support.
