What has become of the hub? I never notice it until exam time - it'd be a useful place to have right beside the library
i know its such an eyesore i heard they cant knock it down cos its full of aspestos or summit
Everyone knows the uni would rather spend money on fancy new med buildings than work with what they've got
Wasn't there an e-mail sent out about what to do with it? What was decided?
if an e-mail is just being sent out now then nothing will be done for yrs. it closed just after I came here and Ill be gone by the time its back
In fairness it looks like the uni has a few other worries at the moment without having to think of the hub...
I have just finished my first year and i remember when i came to uni last september thinking "what the hell is that?" when i saw the hub. I think its ridiculous that a building so central on campus can be allowed to fall into the state it is now. It lowers the tone of the surrounding area and spoils the aesthetics of what i think is one of the most architecturaly beautiful universities in the uk.
