Crap building
John Galsworthy Building, Kingston University.
I resumed my Part course at Kingston on Weds and after an hour or so of trying to find the actual lecture room we ended up in this building. Another bar code facade and with the most hideous internal layout I’ve seen. Dreadful. All the money obviously got spent on the facade.
I’m shocked that it got an RIBA award. Did the judges even go inside the building? As for the teaching spaces… well the lighting is dreadful, bog standard 600×600 ceiling tiles and lights so bad that they phyiscally hurt your eyes.
I’m so glad I don’t have to be at University full time anymore.
