Completing Chancellors Court, 'completing our redbrick heart'
On April 16th I wrote about the University of Birmingham's plans, as reported in Construction News, on Completing Chancellors Court. The Construction News report outlined the University's plan to create a £15 million music centre to complete the Chancellors Court semi-circle.
As an alumnus of the University of Birmingham I receive a Newsletter regarding news about the University. In the May edition there is an article titled, 'Completing Our Redbrick Heart' which outlines the proposals and Vice-Chancellor Michael Sterling's ambitions to build a facility to 'reflect the University's past whilst looking to it's future' as it celebrates the centenary of it's official opening in June 2009.
The following artist's impression provides a prospective view of the block if it were to faithfully complete the semi-circle.
In the article it notes the plans to relocate the Music department into the new block, complimenting the Barber concert hall, with a 450 seat auditorium in the new dome together with rehersal and teaching space to maintain it's 5* research rating.
Vice-Chancellor Professor Michael Sterling said.
The article further notes that the University has agreed to the project in principle and is currently conducting an investment appraisal into the new building.

Completing the Chancellor's Court semi-circle will enable us to provide better facilities for Music and for the University and further increase our national and international standing. It will also give us a wonderful opportunity to continue the pioneering work that Joseph Chamberlain started a century ago.
