What's Strathcona House?
It's a rather nice red sandstone building on my works campus that originally the council planned to keep and incorporate into the new Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre complex but now they've done a u-turn and it's to be demolished. The decision has even made it in to Private Eye who have said it should be "bleedin' obvious: to destroy a solid decent piece of architecture for frivolous reasons is a waste." Can't put it better myself
Strathcona was built as a halls of residence for the Rowett Institute and is still in use today as our lecture theatre and canteen. It's a bit of a landmark for those flying in to Dyce airport and those travelling along the A96 and it'd be really sad to see it meet a wrecking ball.
If you've got a few minutes please sign the petition here and more information about the campaign can be found here
Cheers
