Li-brrrr-y !

Alright, who do I go to about turning up the heating in the Library? I'm wearing jeans, a long sleeve top and a hoodie and I'm freezin!

Or is it just me?

Go to the laptop area. the heat from all the laptops will warm you up nice.

abelard

No it's definitely not just you. I know that the law section, at the very least, is quite often freezing. Maybe those big windows looking onto the lake are poorly insulated or something.

As to who to go to for heating, I don't really know I'm afraid. You could always burn a book or two.....

elmyra

I'm in the laptop area. I keep putting my hands underneath my laptop to warm them up..people are lookin' at me weird...though the girl two down has adopted the idea.

/trendsetter

rain on

try moving to somewhere else. i'm down to my t-shirt and i'm still on the warm side.

its always freezing when i go into the lib, the higher floors are also hotter but i go to the law section. arm yourself with about 5 hoodies and u'll be grand, thats what i did last xmas!

humbert

I'm up on the top floor and it's quite warm, maybe all the heat is rising up here:)

Vainglory

It is FREEZING in the library...my little srón nearly fell off last week.

But...why are you in the library.. please tell me it's essays rather than actual studying or I'll be forced to kill you to make myself feel less guilty.

The_Minister

I'm in the library now. It's grand.
/Boos Elmyra for being so temperature sensitive.

elmyra

Don't be worrying, I'm still doing the essays that are due tomorrow. All feckin' 3 of them! Study doesn't even come into it.

Women do often feel colder

Most big old buildings like the library will have problems with heat circulation.

Having said that when i come to keeping the mind active its better to be too cold than too hot, less chance of falling asleep.

It was so hot in the library today [I was beside her briefly] and it wasn't just because of the new librocop who is a beaut:eek:

panda100

If you look through the library comment book though you will see all the people complaining of the library being too hot. Theres at leat one complaint about overheating every day.

Anyway I don't think its going to be resolved any time soon so don't forget to have a bottle of water.

Dehydration because of the air-con, I would think.

A seriously cool piece of kit, you can see how warm the lecture hall is before you go in, or before you even get out of bed!

Stabshauptmann

i was in a lecture 2 weeks ago and I **** you not it was so cold you could see the condensation when people spoke. Obviously I being a serious student weathered it out :rolleyes:

Stepherunie

ET is currently rather drafty I must say - or else it's where I'm sitting - I'm getting a vertical shaft of cold air hitting me - i'm none too impressed.

rainbow kirby

3rd year lab is always warm. Therefore all is ok for me.

(apart from the fact we get kicked out at 6.30pm! /me wants longer lab opening hours)

Red Alert

the science building's heaters never used to work. eng is great, nowhere's ever really that cold.

Funny how arts cafe is called Finegans Break still on it, old skewl

Also, why are buildings that are locked up for the night so warm atm. I know daylight savings and all that but they're not that well insulated!

Actually ya, Professor/Dr/whatever them call themselves Mulkeen said the other day that the electricity supply that the eng block gets is from a seperate source to the rest of the college-does that include our heating? (I feel kinda stupid for asking )
Oh and around 100,000V available in a place that the electricals use :eek:

dirtydress

Absolutely right! Its so damn cold in there, actually unbearable at times and I just have to go home, its just not right. Maybe put a suggestion in the book? Not sure how much good it'll do thought.

Miss GAAfia

Head upstairs to the laptop area. Rooooooastin'. All those Ag boys heat up the joint.

gubbie

Top floor really is roasting. You'd be in a t-shirt and still be warm. Makes you really sleepy snoozy snooz

Red Alert

The Eng Block is on a different electrical feed I heard one time too, don't know much else about it.

The heat is different too. Eng Building's heat comes from three big natural gas boilers downstairs, with the three chimney stacks which you can see in the middle of the building.

But I can't go to the top floor.

Have never been beyond the second floor of the library due to fear of escalators, lack of stairs and guilt of using lifts that are meant for people who need them. I live in the laptop section....I just also find that cold. Meh, maybe it's just me.
