This work is being rescheduled. We will keep you updated when we have more information.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We want to give you a heads-up about some essential repair work taking place in the Main Library this January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our colleagues in Estates and Campus have identified a significant fault with the heating feed to the Main Library. To fix this safely and properly, the heating will need to be switched off for a short period while repairs are carried out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udee0\ufe0f What\u2019s happening?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Main Library will be without heating for approximately five days<\/strong> while repair work takes place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udcc5 When will this happen?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Work is scheduled to begin on Monday 12 January 2026<\/strong>, during the week commencing that date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83e\udd14 Why now?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, this isn\u2019t something that can wait. Delaying the repair could lead to further damage and potentially affect other areas of the University. Carrying out the work as soon as possible helps ensure we can continue to provide a comfortable and safe study environment in the long term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

What does this mean for you?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • \u2705 The Main Library will remain open<\/strong> throughout the repair period<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • \ud83d\udcda All Library services will continue as usual<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • \ud83c\udf21\ufe0f The Library will be cooler than normal<\/strong>, so please dress warmly<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • \ud83d\udeb0 Running hot water will still be available<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • \u2615 The 1st and 2nd floor kitchens<\/strong> will remain open for making hot drinks<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • \ud83e\udde3 Blankets are available from the ground floor<\/strong> to help keep you warm<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Why aren\u2019t portable heaters being provided?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    While we know this would seem helpful, adding extra electrical heaters would overload the building\u2019s electrical capacity and could cause power outages in the Library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n\n\n

    Alternative study spaces \ud83c\udfeb<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    If you\u2019d prefer a warmer space during the day, you\u2019re welcome to use other study locations across campus, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Scrymgeour Building<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • DJCAD Library<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Global Room<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      \n\n\n\n

      Our thanks \ud83d\udc99<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      We appreciate your patience and understanding while this important work is carried out. These repairs are essential to protect the building and improve your study environment going forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      If you have any questions, Library staff will be happy to help\u2014just ask at the desk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Stay warm, and happy studying!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
