Alf Bentley Posted 15 May 2016 Posted 15 May 2016 Apparently the Shinji Okazaki Seminar Block keeps collapsing, several passers-by have been injured by loose scaffolding swinging from the Robert Huth Building, the Matty James Building has been closed down for a year by Health & Safety Inspectors, the Richie De Laet Building has been outsourced to Teesside Poly and nobody can find the Andy King Building, even though everyone know that it plays a crucial role on the campus. Other omissions from the list: the Craig Shakespeare Refectory & the Tom Hopper School for Anglo-Oriental Relations and Bowel Medicine Research.

I've heard they've struggled to fit all the buildings in because N'Golo Kante Building covers almost all of the campus.
