The Turnkey Desk is here to help 24/7, 365 days a year! 

Need help on campus? 

Found in the SLC Great Hall, the desk provides a range of services for students to utilize, including a lost and found service, a first aid kit, and is your go-to spot for information about life on campus. They also update our poster boards throughout the building to ensure you are up to date with campus events.   

Study Rooms

Come over to the Turnkey Desk to book and access these spaces. All you need to do is bring your WatCard and speak to the attendant, it’s as simple as that. Rooms are typically available for up to an hour but can be booked in advance to be used for up to 3 hours.   

There are 19 private study rooms available in SLC. Different rooms have different capacities of between a 4-16 person capacity. The study rooms are located on the 3rd, 2nd, and basement floors. Feel free to ask at Turnkey for directions! 

Booking Hours: Study rooms are open and bookable from 7am to 10pm
