Brackenhurst College


Recommended Posts

Nottingham Trent University’s campus at Brackenhurst near to us is having a lot of new buildings erected currently. Whilst driving by yesterday we noticed that a newly built brick wall of one of  blocks had become detached and was starting to fall away. The structure is very modern and oddly designed with a deliberate outward lean. It looks like the lean has gone too far. I’ve just seen an article about this on the Post website. I can just imagine the blame that’s going on now between the architects and the builders. Would love to be a fly on the wall!

It was featured on the East Midlands News... It's actually falling down ! Unbelievable.

Can you just imagine the blame going on amongst builders, structural engineers, architects and insurers. It’s a disgusting looking modern edifice which will look as grotty as 60’s structures after a few years. The whole lot should be pulled down but that will never happen.

Does anyone use clay bricks any more

Used a lot here, Rog.

Its mainly used as a facing on frame construction to make it look like a solid brick house.

Seems to work well.  A bit cooler in summer, warmer in winter.
