Derby Collge Campus-bad design

This building is part of a broader masterplan for Derby College, made up of buildings of bad-to-mediocre quality by Midlands-based Maber Architects.
The strategy was to make a really big box, based on the form of a cereal packet, and then 'break down its scale'  by using a  modularised cladding system in grey and black. They had one good idea - the canopy - but that emphasises just how much this building belongs on a business park.
