^ Yes, very sad to hear that on the news today.
As somebody who has studied Art & Design, I can imagine the huge amount of work those students must have had stored in the building. Whole years of their life and work gone forever, as they stood outside and watched. There could have been the early paintings of the next Picasso in there!... and now we'll never see it, not to mention the building itself.
I hope some of it can be salvaged.
