Yeah exactly. And it's not like the buildings they want to demolish are abandoned or little used. Old Microbiology is full of lab/office spaces and Brownless is one of the main hubs of the biomed and science cohorts. I've had classes in some of the other buildings as well and they are also frequently used.
Sure it might open up the uni but how will they compensate for the reduction in useable space?
They are planning to upgrade/convert the current union house building into a mega science hub building so a lot of the lost lab space will move into there eventually.
