Bosses at Strathclyde University’s state-of-the-art Technology and Innovation Centre (TIC) have told scholars to stop pooing in bins and showers.
About 400 students and 250 staff at the £89million science hub have been warned over disgusting toilet habits.
An email was sent by the facility’s operations management team warning that WCs must be used to dump waste.
Chiefs believe the centre’s multicultural population may have caused the problem, which has left the building’s cleaning staff kicking up a stink.
Thursday’s memo to “TIC occupants” said: “Given the incidence of people pooing in bins, showers and the likes – can I please remind all TIC occupants that the toilets have been provided for that specific purpose.
“All bodily fluids, solids and toilet paper must be disposed of down the toilet.
“While I appreciate that the TIC population is multi-cultural and different countries have different practices, here in the UK the accepted practice is to use only the WC.”
The hygiene warning came after sanitation staff lodged complaints about the unusual places at the space-age building they were having to clean.
Academics and students from all over the world have made the TIC, which was opened in 2015, their base.
A Strathclyde University spokeswoman said: “We’ve apologised for any offence caused to colleagues.
“The email contained sentiments completely contrary to our institutional values and should not have been sent.
“It was recalled as soon as it came to our attention and we swiftly issued an apology to staff.”

First time I've ever seen my uni on Reddit and it's about cunts taking a shite in a shower, at least they're not doing it in the kettle.

U.S. Navy has a long standing but seldom mentioned tradition of "The Phantom Shitter." Ship is at sea, come dawn the bridge crew sees something on top of Number 2 Turret... I got out in 1970, so perhaps this tradition has long disappeared.

What? The email looked polite enough to me:
