The University is investing millions of pounds in new buildings around our campus but it is forgetting to take care of its existing buildings. The Geography and TRP building has been in a gradual state of decline and it is now becoming an unacceptable working environment. During times of heavy rain the building leaks and leads to wet and slippery floors and numerous buckets placed around the building. Not only is this a health and safety issue but is highly embarrassing when showing potential students around the building.
Furthermore, the TRP computer room has been closed on a number of occasions due to rain leaks (currently closed) which is highly inconvenient for students and forces them to use the already over-crowded IC and Western Bank library. This in itself puts further pressure on these building further inconveniencing all students who use them.
We would like to see investment in the building to ensure that the leakages stop reducing H&S riskes and that we have the full access to our building and its facilities.
This petition will be presented to the Head of Estates of the University so that we can collectively represent our concerns over this issue.
The emails I get from those of you dealing with these leaks every day only confirm that we cannot accept this state of decay. I am currently compiling a report on these maintenance failures to bring directly to the administration when I can get them to sit down with me. It is exhausting to keep pushing when the walls are literally crumbling but I am staying on this until the repairs are actually finished.

Seeing this grow is exhausting but necessary because we are all tired of navigating buckets just to attend class. The momentum is building and it confirms we are not alone in finding these conditions unacceptable.

Sort it out. The new stuff looks great but you cant just let the older buildings rot away like this.

The state of the TRP building is honestly embarrassing. We pay way too much in tuition for our learning spaces to be held together by buckets.

So tired of the constant leaks in the computer room. Every time it rains we lose access to the software we actually need for our assignments.

Fix the leaks its ridiculous that we have to trek over to the IC just to find a desk when we should be working in our own department.
