City Students’ Union recently met with the Director of Library Services to discuss the vandalism of Level 3 of the Northampton Square Library and the ongoing efforts to secure study space dedicated to Postgraduate Students.
The Director of Library Services has confirmed that there are still a number of Health & Safety concerns, including any potential damage to the power supply within the vandalised study pods. A number of engineers have and will be onsite over the next week, to review the damage and carry out any work required to repair them. The Library Service is working towards re-opening the floor to usual hours as soon as possible. Furthermore, discussions around dedicated study space for Postgraduate students remains ongoing with the Senior members of staff throughout the University.
City Students’ Union and Library Services would like to thank students who raised concerns, issues and support on the situation. The SU and Library Services very much value feedback and are always willing to take it on board.
The Director of Library Services has assured the SU that the floor will be re-opened to usual hours once the concerns are minimised.
