Why are LED screens not a good idea on the façade of the Granary building?
• The LED screens would cover the front elevations of the two office wings to the Granary. Whilst in some conditions the screens would appear translucent, in others they would appear opaque. We do not think that historic buildings, particularly principal, prominent elevations, should be covered in this way. We also think the potential mis-use of such screens for commercial advertising should be avoided. We believe the that a more appropriate response would be the introduction of free standing screens facing onto Granary Square which would allow the University to display student work without obscuring the historic building.
