In the Library Building there are two MFPs in the cloakroom, another MFP is in the study space in the Avenue (towards the SQUARE) and one in the basement of the library. An additional MFP is available for HSG members in the mainbuilding in the room A 01-U103. Printing jobs can be picked up within 24 hours of sending the print job. Rooms A 01-U102 and A 01-U103 in the main building are PC rooms for HSG members.
