UCL ventilation doesn’t seem great at the moment. I’m back in 2 days a week and not feeling particularly ventilated

If I find a window that's not locked shut or dangerously seated in a crumbling aperture, I open it – a behaviour predating the pandemic. The much trumpeted green credentials have never applied to ridiculously elevated thermostat settings, no matter how much we've complained. World-class, global excellence, etc., etc..

Yes, stacks. I've been to the main repository at Boston Spa: all low oxygen, low temperature, massive computerised retrieval robot-ladder things. There are humans loading and unloading crates though. TBH, I think they'd still have more oxygen in that massive space than in a stuffy over-crowded reading room in the UCL building where I work. In the BeforeTimes, students were living in the library 24/7 in the run-up to exams, and I don't mind telling you, they fucking stank.
