What University buildings will be affected?
Answer – The David Bates Building and 7 and 8 College Park East are on the site of the new Library and will be demolished. College Park Physics which lies to the north of the site will also be demolished and this area will form part of the landscaped setting for the new building. The David Bates Building, College Park Physics and 7 College Park East are undistinguished 1970s era framed buildings with elements ranging from single to four storeys. They have flat roofs, lightweight external cladding with poor thermal insulation and have outlived their useful lives.
