“The blockage was quickly fixed and the areas affected have been cleaned. There has been some minor damage in the basement area which we are assessing but the library itself is open again as usual this morning.
"We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused students wishing to use the facilities yesterday.”
On its website, the university says: "The situation with the drains has been resolved and the toilets in the building are accessible again.
"Access to Special Collectons will be restricted as our team works to clear up the Lower Ground Floor area following yesterday's incident."
