    Honestly, I was more annoyed with the librarians suddenly deciding they were going to go home at 5pm every day this week, despite the library being open until 10pm.

    Has it been every day? I was in the Hamilton today when they decided to close it.

    With Dublin Bus pulling the plug on their services at any moment with the weather conditions, I wouldn't blame them.

    Yeah, no one thought of how the security guards won't even let people onto trinity after 12 midnight when the study room was "opened". Unless you are an on-campus res or a signed-on guest. Not sure if Goldhall counts.

    I think students can go back on campus from 7am. So really, it's more a 17-hour study room. And besides, the computer rooms stay open and are empty between 12-7am. May aswell keep it closed along with the rest of college for all the good it does:confused:

    The buses shouldn't affect the library, they were only curtailed today out of this week so far?

    Ah right, I thought he meant the library itself (which closed at 5 yesterday)

    Nobody is going to kick you out at 12 though. If you get in before 12 you can stay for as long as you want. My main gripe is no toilets, which means the small-bladdered among us can't stay for very long after twelve (since one the Pav closes the closest place to go, AFAIK, is the McDonalds/BK on Grafton St?)

    However, I do agree that they should let students in after 12. It's ridiculous, there is no reason why they can't just let in anyone with a valid TCD student card. With a place like Halls I can understand why they would toss out anyone without a keycard, but in Trinity itself there is good reason for students to want to enter the campus after 12.

    BTW, although much of TCD campus seems to have thawed or been sanded the steps to the 24hr room are still treacherous so be careful walking up.

    Libraries closed again at 5 today. In the 24hr room looking around for other people 'studying' on boards!

    Geography building is the handiest, you can swipe in the side door just off the path on the way to the Hamilton.

    Added bonus: bigass skeleton things.

    Cheers, I know where you talkin about. Just hope Ill be able to access it out of normal hours.

    Is the Hamilton not open 24 hours?

    And yeah, library closed at 5, planned to go to the 24 hour study space (but you won't see me on boards cause my laptop isn't on the wireless), got slightly distracted for 2.5 hours, now at home. : (

    Never knew the Hamilton was open after hours. It always looks very dark from the outside so I presumed it was closed.

    Yeah, though it was honestly a case of not realising where the time went, and by the time I had my bus was in 30 minutes anyway...

    I've only realised this recently, but it definitely is.

    Just swipe in...

    Just thought I'd mention the fact that there's vending machines in there too. Which means you can have coffeee and mini cookies, 24 hours a day.

    Do they turn the heating off on the weekends, or was it just me that thought it was super cold today?

    I've noticed that before yeah. But also the inherent problem with the 24-hour area is that it's part of an 8-storey building connected by the massive atrium in the middle. Even if they do turn on the heating on that one floor, it'll still be freezing.

    Still pretty packes, but not as much. It's just before 11pm now and it's mostly full but a few spaces available. A few days ago it would have been completely packed.

    Larianne, the Hamilton is pretty empty as of a few days ago (I'm guessing engineers finished?) anyway...

    Yeah, sorry PFM for bringing this thread up. didn't know whether to start a new one.

    I was asking about the Study Space though but if the Hammo Computer Room is now quiet I'll head in there after hours.

    Thanks!
