"Welcome to the website for students at the University of Portsmouth."
Need a space for group work on campus? 3rd Space has purpose built pods or 'igloos' for all students to use. Small and large groups or individuals looking for a quiet space can use the pods between 8.00am and midnight everyday in term time. Each pod has its own plug sockets so plug in your laptops and connect to the wifi.


3rd Space also has its own coffee shop for hot and cold drinks and snacks, along with monthly promotions on all your favourites. There are plenty of tables available for large groups to have lunch, snacks and non-alcoholic drinks from 10.00am to 3.30pm Monday – Thursday and 10.00am to 3.00pm on Fridays.
We also have two pool tables and plenty of space to relax with friends. With free wifi access, why not bring your laptop along?. We ask you to consider other users of this area when using laptops that require long leads and try not to trail them unnecessarily on the floor.
Use and enjoy 3rd Space in the time between your lectures or for meeting with friends after a days' work is done.
