Middlesbrough Campus Library is partially open Monday to Friday 9am - 5pm, with access to limited services for Teesside University Students and Staff on the ground floor only.
The Library buildings have been closed since March due to the Coronavirus lockdown situation. During this time we have continued to provide access to a wide range of digital resources and online services to support learning and research.
Reopening Library buildings and the introduction of services, will be a gradual, phased programme, informed by the University’s phased approach for a return to campus https://www.tees.ac.uk/sections/about/university/coronavirus.cfm with the safety and wellbeing of our University community our priority. This plan is subject to change if government guidance is revised. Our priority is to provide a safe and secure environment for Library users and staff.
