I managed to get the only pictures (I have seen) from this place before it was sealed up for asbestos removal, then quickly demolished.

People have images from the building next door, but this was the tower which looked like a block of offices.

Info:

The technical college was built between 1963-64. It offered courses from Graphic Design, to Science to Medicine etc. In 2005 they moved to a brand new building in the heart of the city centre.

Before leaving, I opened a door and found a virtually untouched lecture theatre sunken underground...
