University of Strathclyde unwraps new look Physics school
February 6 2015
Designed by Hypostyle the new lab space occupies a constrained plot off Richmond Street which it addresses with a feature cut-away stair tower.
To the rear a roof level car park is provided in addition to plant.
Clad in anodised aluminium the build rises from a base of black basalt tiles and is the latest addition in an ongoing estates development strategy which is seeing the institution consolidate its Cathedral Street campus.
A corner stairwell maximises views from the steeply sloping site
Plant and services are hidden to the rear

Hi 1998, yes of course please send the chap in the Delorean to take it away.... we really don't know what to do with it.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Ah, while 1998 is on the subject, we appear to have sent a batch of mis-matched coloured panels and some of our very cheapest range of curtain walling profiles. Perhaps you'd like to return these too whilst you're at it with the corner window?

Hello architects.
Can yous tell me what the story is with these crappy panels that are everywhere these days. Has any testing ever been done to see how they'll age?

The quality of comment on this site really does leave a lot to be desired sometimes.
Petty. Very petty. Ugly too I suspect...

well then @ Rem Koolbag , how would you describe the building? You know, YOUR opinion of it. A contemporary masterpiece? A candidate for the 'Motherwell polytechnic panel cladding innovation award as sponsored by the lefty concrete lovin' modernist brigade'?
Add me to the list of people who think this is ghastly.
