This means that you can access work on your laptop<\/a> as if it were your main office PC, which can be particularly helpful for accessing software such a MATLAB or large memory modelling software that you don\u2019t have space for, or access to, on your laptop. Be aware, you will initially need to put a ticket in with IT to set this up for your University PC. You'll need to download GlobalProtect<\/a> for your personal laptop\/PC. But check in with Computing Services<\/a> first.<\/p>\n If you are looking for a change of scenery, here are three good work spaces based in the city that might take your fancy:<\/p>\n The Virgil Building (University Building), Manvers Street\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Opening Hours: This is an established Learning Commons space within the university buildings. Facilities include individual and group study areas. Training rooms are bookable by students and can check computer availability online before arriving. There are few computers in the study areas so it's best to bring a laptop if needed. Printing facilities are available. The building also has a nice caf\u00e9 area if you don\u2019t want to leave the warmth. There\u2019s a designated area for SU and the student leaders, so if you are part of a society committee you can work on society-related tasks e.g. expense claim forms. Alternatively, you may have signed up to evening language classes which may be held here. If you need to make an appointment with the Careers Service<\/a> or counselling service<\/a> you\u00a0also have the option to schedule them here instead of on campus which may provide more discretion from familiar faces. You can also have parcels delivered to the front desk or pick them up via the amazon locker. You will need your student card to enter the study areas of the building.<\/p>\n Carpenter House,\u00a0Broad Quay, BA1 1UB<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Opening Hours: Carpenter House is a Graduate Commons building, meaning that only PG students have access and is good alternative option if The Virgil Building is busy. Mainly open in the evening, its a good space to catch up on work at the weekend. It has some university access computers and a printer\/scanner. But again bringing a laptop would be advisable. To gain access, simply swipe your student card on the exterior door.<\/p>\n Both Carpenter House and The Virgil building are located close to the Bath Spa train station<\/a> and offer a good opportunity to get some work done whilst you are waiting for a train, bus or even dinner reservations. This might help those of you who are based off-campus but come in to Bath for meetings.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/blogs.bath.ac.uk\/doctoral-welcome-team\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/137\/2018\/11\/Picture1-300x196.png\")
