Need to loan a laptop?
Use our LapSafe in the Drill Hall Library. Laptops can be used anywhere on campus and have access to WiFi via eduroam.
There are two loan options available:
Same day loan. These laptops are loaned without charging cables, and they should not be taken off campus.
7 day loan laptops come with a charging cable and can be taken off campus. They can only connect to eduroam, so there will be no WiFi access off campus.
