Been wanting to see this place for a long time.and whilst in Birmingham,we popped by.i was really let down to be honest.the place is trashed beynd trashed.even from earlier reports this year.the place has just deteriorated so much over the years since it closed.i don't think it will be long before its bulldozed to the ground or razed to the ground.the raised lecture room is now a burnt shell.under the dome all the rubbish has been stacked.we could only get in one of the three remaining buildings.but looking back at my photos,there was some lovely decay in there.and the dome is still worth seeing alone.so glad I finally got to see it.

Pretty well messed up. I cannot see anything which could be recycled or any renovation that could be done to the building. Outside looks nice though.
 
Great shots Mikey... I honestly cant believe that's the same building I've been around... its gone downhill so fast despite being straight across from a police station lol!

Funny enough I looked at your report earlier and can't believe how mint it was four years ago.and how much hm there was
 
christ on a bike - that's in bad shape now :(. We encountered the most unbothered secca ever on our way out of the place. Nice shots as always Mikey :)
 
I grew up there in the late 70's, I remember the college when it was in use. would love to go back and explore it now.
 
Hi there, May I ask - has anyone been to this building recently? If so is it still possible it to enter ? I’m really keen to visit as a photo-op.

Many thanks

If the now-open rectangle beneath the dome was to allow light to reach the lower levels, what covered it? Coloured glass? And what protected anyone from falling through what was there?

A quick google & you can see this building is fully restored.
Not surprising as the report was 7yr ago.

@Mikeymutt does look a really nice explore though, well photographed.

Looking online, there were two college buldings side-by-side on Crockett's Lane. At least one suffered a fire. Both now look restored externally. And the dome is still there. They appear to have been converted in flats - one or both called The Saddles - ensuring their external integrity. A welcome change to the norm we see here.
