The need for the university to promote 'working and learning' is not disputed. To do otherwise is to destroy the university.
But to attempt that by the effective destruction of buildings with tremendous historical and scientific significance - and demolition of the ground level facades effectively destroys them - is no less certainly destroying the university, as any meaningful connections to the past are shamelessly discarded.
