Library Accessibility

The Library is committed to providing an inclusive environment for our students and staff.  Supplementary support is also provided for customers who experience a disability and those with specific learning difficulties (for example, dyslexia).  If you need any help and assistance when using the Library, please see Library staff at the iZone on the Ground Floor at Middlesbrough campus or the Library desk on Floor 1 at Darlington campus.

Fire and emergency procedures

In the event of a fire, you will hear a loud continuous alarm and should leave the building immediately via the nearest fire exit.

At Middlesbrough campus, if you have difficulty in using the stairs, please seek safe refuge in the designated fire stairwells on the east and west sides of the building. There is an emergency phone link that will link you through to the University's Security Control Centre. In the event of a fire, they will alert the emergency services.
