    Default Liverpool John Moores University Developments



    THESE are the first pictures of how Liverpool's new £23m art and design school will look.

    Councillors yesterday approved planning permission for the impressive new academy to be built next to the city's Metropolitan Cathedral.

    The five storey glass-fronted building will provide a new home for all art and design courses at Liverpool John Moores University under one roof.

    Funny when my mum tells them off for not sorting out their wheelybins. Don't blame her though we have the leave the alleygate doors open for them because they have no key and some of them are even leaving it were it can be burned!

    Hate the way some have thrown bin bags in the alley too since they know they don't collect them that way no more and rats tore the bin open and my dog eat of it and got sick!

    Ahh, but your forgetting something, the more students you get into a city, lured by nice new buildings suitied to how their courses work and the facilities they need, the more money they spend.

    And students are an important part of any city's economy.

    On the whole students are lovely

    How much went on pizza and takeaways?

    There good for the economy but the money will go to cleaning the mess they leave!

    Some complain about having a lack of money and not being able to pay rent and stuff but yet they can go drinking all the time and get so many takeaways! Some get all the money they want from their parents as well so it seems by the nice fancy cars they have.

    One of the postives is theres so many babes in my street.

    Years ago there was no students here no over half are.

    Designs on the future
    Jul 13 2006
    EXCLUSIVE by Nick Coligan, Liverpool Echo



    LIVERPOOL'S best young artists will celebrate Capital of Culture in a new academy after a long-awaited project won international support.

    European officials today agreed to hand over £2.5m to John Moores University so it can start work on a showcase building in the shadow of the Metropolitan cathedral.

    The academy will house up-and-coming artists from JMU's art and design school, as well as a "hothouse" where new cultural businesses will grow.

    University staff are already planning a Liverpool fashion week, a Merseyside design fair, international exhibitions and displays by local artists.

    The £23.5m academy will replace several older city-centre university buildings, including the art school attended by John Lennon.

    Building work is expected to start at the end of the month, with the five-storey complex completed in 2008.

    Professor Michael Brown, vice chancellor at JMU, said: "This sends out a strong signal about the importance of investing in art and design.

    "The academy will be a launch pad for new talent and exciting business ventures.

    "It is highly appropriate that it will open during 2008, when Liverpool becomes European Capital of Culture, but its impact will extend far beyond the year of celebration.

    "The academy will ensure that JMU, future generations of students and the city continues to play an influential role in creative arts for decades to come."

    The academy will be a showcase for fashion, architecture, interior, product and graphic design and fine art.

    Today's grant from the European Objective One is the last big piece in a funding jigsaw put together to pay for the Brownlow Hill complex.

    JMU has also launched a fundraising campaign to make sure that it will have the most modern facilities available.

    Richard Nutter, Objective One director, said: "The academy will be much more than a land-mark building.

    "There is an identified skills shortage in architecture, product and graphic design, printing and photography in Merseyside, which the academy will address.

    "Local firms will be able to use the workshops and hi-tech equipment normally beyond their means."

    The academy plans are on public display on Friday at the St Nicholas Centre, in Great Orford Street, from noon-2pm.

    Discover the Design Academy
    13 July 2006

    Open invitation to view LJMU's plans for the new Art and Design Academy



    Liverpool John Moores University is saying goodbye to its St Nicholas Centre, which is making way for a new £23.5 million Art and Design Academy.

    With work due to start on site in two weeks' time, we would like to give you the chance to find out more about this new Academy, which is certain to become one of Liverpool's newest architectural landmarks when it opens in 2008.

    Between 12 noon and 2 pm on Friday 14 July at the St Nicholas Centre (Great Orford Street, Liverpool L3 5YD) you'll be able to see architectural plans plus a scale model of the new development.

    You'll also be able to talk to staff from our School of Art and Design and Property Services Division who'll be able to tell you all about the Academy, including its new public art gallery, sculpture garden and cafe.

    LJMU believes the new Academy will revolutionise the teaching of art and design in the city while also giving the Metropolitan Cathedral the truly great setting it so rightfully deserves.

    Everyone is welcome, so please come along.

    Light refreshments will be served.

    I was wondering if they still had 'Panto day'? And if the magazine 'Pantosphinkz (?) was still around.
