| Description |
|
Ashley Building and Strathcona House are two
linked Grade II Listed university buildings
constructed of concrete blocks and pre-cast
concrete panels.  The Birmingham Pevsner Guide explains that Ashley Building, "brought together previous scattered departments, deliberately setting all sixty-nine tutor's rooms around a singler atrium, through which coils a circular stair. It is the single best 1960s space in the University rough but full of panache. The exterior is clad in the full height pre-cast pannels that HKPA were among the first to use, while still working for the London County Council at Roehampton..."     Linked to Ashley, Strathcona is a slightly curved two-storey lecture room block.     |
