Well done on getting in - it was worth the effort! That ceiling is awesome - probably one of the best features ; it'd be such a pity were it to collapse.
The last I remember over its future is that the Universities were looking into the feasibility of converting it into a business innovation centre to complement the "Science Park" next door ; hopefully we'll hear more this year. I hope they can ; once the crappy modern additions are removed this could be a very special building!
