WAKEFIELD COLLEGE SKILLS XCHANGE AT GLASSHOUGHTON BY DLA


STUDENTS OF WAKEFIELD, YOU POOR BASTARDS. YOU HAVE BEEN SHAT ON BY DLA ARCHITECTS, TRULY ONE OF THE WORST DESIGNERS IN THE WESTERN WORLD. IT DOESN'T GET ANY WORSE THAN THIS. THE PRESS RELEASE SAYS IT'S ICONIC, BUT WHAT THEY MEAN BY THAT IS THAT IT HAS A POINTLESSLY OVERSAILING TRIANGULAR ROOF AND SOME SMOKED GLASS. OH YES, AND A NAME LIKE 'SKILLS XCHANGE'. WITH NO 'E'.
WHOEVER DESIGNED THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THEIR COLLEGE TUTOR THAT THEY'LL NEVER MAKE IT. EVER. AND HERE'S THE EVIDENCE OF THEM NOT MAKING IT. IF YOU'RE READING THIS, PLEASE STOP. PUT DOWN THE MOUSE. GET ANOTHER JOB.
