Heating, Powerpoints, Lockers and Food and Drink

Thank you for your comments and suggestions regarding the LRC. I will try and answer your points one at a time.

Heating
The recent good weather has made the temperatures generally a bit higher than normal. As the LRC is a rather large building any refinements to the thermostat take several days to adjust. Unfortunately the good days are generally followed by a few cooler days and so the thermostat is bouncing up and down and not having much effect. The heating is switched off on 1 May and so overheating won't be an issue (unless we have a really fantastic summer) until October.

Power points for laptops
Unfortunately the original design of the Park Square building did not allow for customer use of power points, hence shortcomings 15 years later. The wall plugs throughout the LRC are available for customer use. The floor plates which appear all over the University present a trip hazard if they are used and so customer use of the floor plates is prohibited. We are looking into this for some smart solutions.

Lockers
The University does not and will not be providing customer lockers in the LRC or anywhere else. Lockers take up an enormous amount of space and the potential for misuse is quite high. I am sorry but this will not be happening

Food and drink
You may eat or drink without restraints in the Social Learning Space (ground floor Park Square LRC). Elsewhere in the LRC bottled drinks and sweets are acceptable but that's all. The space for disposal facilities and well as the noise and potential damage to stock are all reasons (unfortunately discovered through experience) why food and drinks are generally prohibited in the LRC.
