Marybone Lecture Theatre: Response of Estates to recent email survey As you may know, this room has been in an unacceptable state
for a large part of the teaching year.
In addition to reporting issues through Estates Helpdesk on x5533,
Science staff also replied to an emailed appeal for their experiences of
using this room. The response of
Estates to this survey is here
and it partly explains the delay in attending to the various issues. It is worth remembering that this year’s NSS Survey for
LJMU students has an additional Likert scale question, “My institution
provides appropriate teaching accommodation, for example seminar rooms,
lecture theatres and laboratories.” |
