Well it doesn't look great and things rarely turn out better than they look in the publicity shots but.......

It looks a bit like the design of the college on Dumballs which I was rather impressed by when I saw it the other day.

I wonder if there's a possibility of it growing on us? :o I'm not making a comparison here but when the design of wmc was first shown it had a lot of negative comments. Personally I'm pretty shocked by this overbearing awkward looking lump on top of the existing structure at fitzalan court, but it's different, and some times different grows on you! - Having said that I'm not particularly optimistic though :lol:

I think it makes a bland 80's office development quite interesting. I suppose it depends somewhat on the actual finished product of course.

Whatever happened to the Brunel House makeover? That looked good but nothing has happened.

Funnily enough I was just thinking about the idea of a makeover for Brunel House. I honestly don't think there is much wrong with it other than the brown colour! Just hope they don't do something god awful with it like Stadium House.

All Brunel House needs is new windows. The overall structure is quite impressive, and would look really good with some shiny new glass.

I actually think the design of this student development could turn out quite good if the correct materials are used.

I'm with you on this, Cen. Generally a design that divides opinion is a sign that we could end up with something interesting.
