Uni building buckled…

Teesside University building bows to Buckler pressure.

A Teesside University building has bitten the dust.

The two-storey Minerva Building on Stephenson Street in central Middlesbrough, has been flattened by Middlesbrough firm A Buckler Demolition.

It is working on behalf of the university, which wants to extend by 13 spaces its existing 119-space Quadrangle car park – the main staff and visitors’ car park on the campus.

Two university-owned paths are being realigned as part of the changes.

Middlesbrough Council’s planning department is yet to determine if the car park extension can go ahead.
