How could this affect me?
Many students in the Autism&Uni surveys mentioned the library as somewhere they really enjoyed being, whether they needed some quiet space to get away from it all or find some help or just to get some work done.
The Library is located in the T.K. Whitaker Building on the DKIT campus. Designed by Scott Tallon Walker, it was opened in August 2001.The Library holds thousands of books and journals while curating a virtual collection of e-books and journal articles. The library at DKIT offers quiet spaces where students can study and complete course work. The Assistive Technology (AT) room is based in the library, room W220.
