This is a listed building with two distinct sections, an original part of the building with Georgian façade which is now connected to a more modern addition.
The building has long been identified for disposal by the University and hence there has been a lack of investment in its upkeep.
There are several weathering issues, and the roof areas are a challenge, with a history of water ingress. There are some asbestos materials in the building which need to be managed and treated with care.
Disabled access is difficult and not currently available – there is stepped access externally from the street which is difficult to overcome and complicated by the Planning/ Listed Building issues. Internally, while there is a lift, some of the corridors are too narrow for wheelchairs to turn properly through 90 degrees.
