At the Sir Alex Ferguson Library we are committed to positively contributing to your health and wellbeing throughout your GCU experience, in which a good work/life balance and spending time with friends are essential.

We invite you to come and enjoy our wellbeing space, Relax and Renew, located on level 0 of the Sir Alex Ferguson Library.

The Relax and Renew space aims to enrich the wellbeing of all our users, by providing a relaxing, contemplative space where you can take a break from your academic studies or your work day and connect with others from the GCU community.

Relax and Renew provides a safe space where you can browse and engage with a selection of resources related to wellbeing and mental health, including self-care resources and our fiction and non-fiction book collections - either on your own or with friends.
