Common Room
We know that students often like to bring their own lunch, but as our café is a franchise we ask you to not eat your own food there. Wherever possible, a daily common room is provided for the purpose. Details are on the plasma screen above the desk in Reception. We can't guarantee a common room every day, but always do our best to accommodate student's needs where we can.

Roof Garden
In fine weather, the roof garden is a pleasant place to eat food. The garden was opened in September 2007, funded by the Royal Female School of Art. The garden and planting were designed by Mary Ward Centre students and staff; the art works are by some of our art tutors. It provides a quiet outside space for students and staff to share and enjoy. Please use the litter bins provided. Smoking is not permitted. Exit from the roof in the case of fire is by either of the staircases. If the weather is bad, the roof garden might have to be closed, so it's as well to check with Reception before climbing the stairs.

Student Seating Areas
There are also student seating areas in two of the lift lobbies and outside Room 3A.
