Dunelm House, the Students’ Union building, has gained listing protection after being reclassified as a Grade II building by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport. This means the building cannot be demolished.
The decision came after The Twentieth Century Society, which runs campaigns to defend buildings with significant historical or architectural relevance from change or demolition, submitted a second appeal to the department on the basis that problems with maintaining the building’s concrete structure could be easily solved.
“We are delighted and look forward to working with the University to explore how it can be properly restored and continue to function we think it is an enormous asset for the University.”

A burglar forced his way through the roof of a Spalding store before raiding the premises, Lincoln Crown Court was told.
Andrew Searle went on to steal £1,000 worth of stock from the Buy and Sell Exchange store on New Road in the town.
Steven Gosnell, prosecuting, said Searle then smashed his way through a wall to break-in to the American Burger takeaway next to Buy and Sell.
Frozen food and a camera were stolen from the takeaway. Hundreds of pounds worth of damage was caused to the two businesses.
