About:
As a result of increasing costs at USW, the decision was made to reduce the opening times of Treforest library from 24/7 to set times. Students felt that this disadvantaged students, particualry those who needed space to prepare for assessments away from home. Following an approved proposal at AGM, the Union was mandated to campaign on keeping the library 24/7, leading to the sabbatical team working with university colleagues at all levels to faciliate late night study spaces for students at Treforest.
Current Status:
Through work with the University's executive, the Treforest Library is now open 24/7 during the 2026 exam period, with the Union working alongside University colleagues on other avenues to carry this beyond Summer 2026
