I am currently using 6th floor of the library and room L607 and it is extremely cold in here. we have to wear our jackets to be working in this room which is not convenient. Please could this matter be looked into.

Thank you for taking the trouble to write regarding your concerns about the temperature in L607 in the Luton Campus Library.
The external temperatures on Wednesday 13th were between 15 – 18 degrees C. With sunshine on the windows – L607 does have 2 external walls of floor to ceiling glass – this would bring the internal temperature up more than the air temperature. The library’s building management system is set between 19 – 21 degrees C. The mild air and sun warmed room seem to have raised the internal temperatures above 21 degrees C which would trigger the cooling system.
Sitting on or near the forced air vents would make the room seem chilly – hence your discomfort. May I suggest that should this happen again you report it to staff on level 1 of the library so they can take a temperature reading and report it to our Facilities team for attention as required. This will give you a much quicker response to the problem. In addition, you may wish to move away from the circular floor forced air vents to avoid getting chilled.
Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention. If we don’t know there’s a problem we cannot fix it.
