MMU Loxford Towers - Demolition Pictures.
- by Paul Summer
Help! Someone tell me please..is it Loxford Tower or Towers? Google it and you get both 
The former Manchester Metropolitan University Halls of Residence, School of Architecture & Mixed Media on Lower Chatham Street, is being demolished even as I write this news item this very night. Loxford Tower used to house CaReS’ Administration, the Accommodation Office and the Conference Office. Loxford Tower was built in the 1970’s, when it used to be Manchester Polytechnic.
What will stand in its place? Will it be the new £65m sustainable state-of-the-art business school and teaching centre? A modern glass environmently friendly building featured in last years’ Manchester Evening News article.
It was interesting to see that they minimised dust clouds by spraying water in the air towards the building. Wasn’t to put any fire out or to clean the windows.
I was amused to see these blue double doors and trying not to think.. “I hope no-one walks through them”. Wouldn’t it be funny if.. not even going there. Me, a first aider.. tut-tut!
