The West Bromwich building, intended as a digital media interactive experience, actually opened in 2009 after a series of financial and administrative disasters. It has even sometimes appeared to flourish in a rather different guise, with some good art shows as well as events ranging from comedy nights to popular tea dances for the older generation. And it is the only cultural establishment serving a wide area on the north western edge of Birmingham.
But all may go as the current proposal is to convert it to a Sixth Form College- though how an open volume dominated by a ramp snaking through it can be turned into a school is a puzzle. Invite Will Alsop (its architect) back maybe ?
