I have been onsite at Winifed & Sirius in the last few days. Both projects impressed but Winifred looks well behind at the moment and is going to a 24 hour site this week. I am back there next week and will take a few sneaky snaps if I can.

Apparently Hull Uni are looking at knocking Brynmor Jones library down and building a new one. Although it sort of looks out of place and old, I quite like it as it is - retro. Quite Rotterdam-esque in design too.

Thought brynmor had some sort of listing? Would shame to see it go.. Its might be old but at least it's 'modern'

Where did you hear this, Hull? I can't see it happening myself. It would be massively disruptive to campus life for all involved. Housing the books would also be a huge challenge.

Apologies there, Hull.

I don't see it as only being problematic for those living on campus - the University has a relatively small on-campus population. A building of that sort of footprint would necessitate a sizeable building site, which in turn would create a lot of noise, traffic and displacement of learning materials and services. Regardless of what time of year activity began, it would be a lengthy project. Staff and post-graduate students are on campus throughout the summer.

though for some reason it now asks to be registered to read it - maybe you get one free read?

Architects are invited to submit PQQs for the £10 million redevelopment of the Brynmore Jones Library at the University of Hull.

The work, which was advertised on Ojeu, is expected to start on site in summer 2012, with completion scheduled no later than September 2013.

Taller and shinier, please.

That's what the article on the link I posted was about... the PQQ(?) found that the people who have issued the build prefer practicality to good design.

We always seem to do that here - it's why all local businesses opt for tin sheds and why for some stupid reason, industry is situated in large areas that would be great fo family housing - poor city centre planning. (one thing I was going to mention about Nottingham when I finally get round to writing my thoughts up - been way too busy - their centre is very well planned out).

Did anyone see 'the secret life of a building' on Ch4 last week? Great programme and shows what businesses should be looking to do.

A few pics from the Winifred site as promissed.

Dazzar86 · August 13th, 2011, 02:04 PM

I really like the inside and the scattering of grey is quite cool, but not sure the outside of grey will inspire kids into the mood for wanting to go to school.

livin' hull · August 13th, 2011, 02:44 PM

Is that the original pool?

The outside does look kinda good though when you're approaching it from the south

I think it's new but not knowing the old school I am not 100%. The picture of the pool I took was is in the left building on picture 2.

a new building, no matter how good, isn't going to inspire kids from failing schools to suddenly put the effort in. i can't believe they've built three schools like this after the complete and utter failure of endeavour to achieve anything at all. will they be ripping these down by 2020?
