Staging Group Installation in Newton Building, NTU, Nottingham

A building is of a stark white exterior with a dominating appearance and part of the NTU campus was the setting for a most thrilling happening. The University most recently used the Newton Building as part of its technology and engineering departments. Andrew Brookfield and myself explored the existing levels and chose the lowest floor of the building that had not been completely gutted.

Though level 2 had been deserted many items had been left behind such as obsolete computers and teaching aids. There were enough working items to reform and thoroughly clean up a single office to create a convincing environment that appeared as though it was still being used.
Our success could be summed up by the actions of a member of security who had passed the office and when they saw it was in use, locked it)

As a viewer walked along the corridor, (not knowing of the condition of any other floor other then the reception area that is still in use) it seemed almost unrecognisable as a classroom or office but resembled more of a disaster area or war zone.

This was the view through one window into a locked room from the corridor on floor two.
