A quiet space for anyone who needs it.

A quiet space for anyone who needs it.

Who can use this space?

The Quiet Room is a space for all students to use for getting away from the loud hustle and bustle of busy campus life. Inside you can find sofas and chairs, adjustable lighting, fidget toys, soft blankets, etc. 

Please be respectful

Please be mindful and give space to students who may be affected by sensory overload or experience sensory processing disorder, students who are experiencing mental health issues or students who are feeling overwhelmed.

Quiet Hour

Every day (Monday-Friday) between 9am and 10am is Quiet Hour at Strath Union. During this time no music is played on level 1 and 2, and the screens are either off or display a message that it's quiet hour.

By establishing a quiet hour, we are helping to create a less sensory stimulating space for all, but will be particularly helpful to those who may be neurodivergent or have mental health issues. There is some noise that is unavoidable e.g coffee machines, phones ringing, radio calls, deliveries however where possible we will encourage everyone to be mindful of the noise they make during the hour.

Other quiet spaces on campus:

Places of worship

Private breastfeeding facilities

We'd like your feedback
