On Level 1 park street the library section behind the books
the windows are covered in cobwebs and spider and other insects some dead and
alive. sometimes the alive one create webs from the window to the book shelf
and people walk into it or the spiders start moving and students noisily react,
which can be very distracting when trying to work. one experience I had for
more than two hours a group of people were shrieking and making a big thing
about the spider moving above them and if it was going to drop etc... since
September the windows have been like this and it seems to be a distraction, as
I too hate spiders and causes a distraction when other people react to
them.
Thank you for emailing and taking the trouble to air your concerns. In cold wet weather insects do tend to come indoors for protection but this can build up into a nuisance if their activity is distracting.
I have raised your comments with our Cleaning team and hope they can get to the area you've identified to clear out the spiders.
Please remember that levels 2 and 3 are silent working floors and this environment may suit you better.
