Learning Resource Centres
Learning Spaces to support students in being engaged and independent learners.
At Exeter College we provide a variety of spaces for independent and group study.
Our staffed Learning Resource Centres are situated across our Hele Road (LRC@ Hele & LRC@ Tower) and Queen Street (LRC@ CCI & LRC@ Victoria House) sites, each with their own personality to suit the needs of all of our learners. We also have additional unstaffed LRCs and Study Hubs across our sites, including LRC@ Tech Centre.
Our LRCs cater to the subjects that are taught around them, but you might find a different LRC is a more suitable learning environment for you – for example, our LRC@ Tower is our designated quiet study.
We don’t want you to lose your study space to eat a sandwich, so we do allow food in the LRCs but please be respectful and put your rubbish in the bin when you are done (any external takeaway food, e.g. McDonalds/Fish & Chips needs to be consumed outside of the LRC).
Find our purple square on your Student Hub, that says “Your LRCs” when you’re logged in!
How to find us
Our LRCs are open and staffed from 8:30AM – 4:30PM, and LRC@ Hele is open to learners from 7:30AM – 8PM but is unstaffed outside of the above hours.
The wide range of online resources including e-books, e-journals, databases and streamed media are available 24 hours a day, on or off campus. Our LRCs have staff available to give you advice and guidance throughout your learning journey. They are always ready to help with library enquiries, including information searches and referencing; support with study skills and digital tools; and initial support with IT enquiries.
You can come and see us in person or email us on LRCStaff@exe-coll.ac.uk with your learning-related queries!
Students can use the PCs, Macs and Laptops available to them in the LRCs, but you are also welcome to bring your own devices as WiFi is available college wide through Eduroam.
