University
GV II
University building, formerly Trent Polytechnic. Designed
1952. Built 1956-58. Designed by Cecil Howitt. Portland Stone
facing, expressed as a cladding by the alignment of both
vertical and horizontal joints. Flat roofs. Low block,
polygonal in plan, containing entrance and workshops,
surmounted at right-angles to the street by an eight-storey
slab. Stripped classical manner. Entrance block treated as
symmetrical composition with projecting centre with fluted
pilasters in antis. Vertical window to left and right each
with projecting metal grill. Five-light window to flanking
ranges. Slightly recessed glazed attic storey. Slab recessed
behind street facade with moulded vertical window to end
elevation. Broad flanks each have panel of vertical strip
windows with projecting masonry pilasters, flanked to either
side by panels with narrow horizontal windows. Delicate metal
framed single-glazed windows with margin glazing. INTERIOR
retains matching original staircase.
A good example of Cecil Howitt's later work, showing the
Modernist idea of the "slab and podium" translated into a
classical manner.
