The Green Room is a social learning space for university staff located in the University Library. It consists of two rooms called strawberry and green that contain comfortable, flexible furniture along with tea, coffee, and a variety of classroom and mobile technologies. The Green Room is meant to be a place for staff to work away from their offices, explore learning technologies together, and participate in informal training, collaboration, and fun. It is supported by library staff through online guides and resources. A variety of workshops and events are held there monthly across different subject areas. Staff praise The Green Room for providing a conducive environment for brainstorming, demonstrations, and productive work.
