I've tried really hard to like this building. I really have. I just cant.
You have to look at the era in which it was built, and it just doesn't stand the test of time. It reminds me of an airport or a factory. It doesn't fit in with the rest of Plymouth. Yes, the modern look of decades ago does make a statement
Contemporary schools also have their issues. Brick boxes. Fortresses. These days, school design is about security AND education.
The bottom line is... the important thing is what happens inside, not outside.
