Perhaps I should get some cider to go with this Rosie glow. (I had to wait for a Laurie to pass by --) January 25th 2016

12th January 2016

Uninrsity of Leicester new Medical School Building, "Centre for Medicine" now really looking more like a building than a building site.
7/8 January 2016. Nicer sky on 7th, shame about the intrusive van

The Old and the New , December 1st 2015

A Mist Opportunity (November 2015)

Not the same with the mist missing

Ref below: It is now a few days later, and this was an hour or so earlier.

Just a bit too dark for this, will try again a bit earlier, later.

Really starting to look like the artists impression. Click on image to view higher resolution version.

Went out to photograph the planting, but the clouds were more interesting

New Med October 9th 2015

No Med - March 16th 2012

The first faked pic on these pages, thanks to Photoshop

Late September 2015

--and a reminder of February 2014

Back to "normal" lighting (23rd September 2015) and note the whitewash going on. Looks good

Clouds/Centre for Medicine 21st September 2015

Cloud and rain, then in the space of ten minutes I turned round as the sun broke through

Seem that while I was out they lost the crane. The scissor jacks just don't have the same impact

July 23rd 2015. Changes not as obvious now, but the cladding's coming on nicely

Green as green can be, early June 2015

The building and its budding envirnonmental credentials, as it attempts to hide behing the trees, and-

- There ain't Nothin' Shakin' (But The Leaves On The Trees) [2015]

It was a bright and windy day, with two cross polarised polarisers to act as neutral density, to give 8 sec exposure

Back to green a few days later, with detail from sculpture. (More below)

Not much new to see, so here's a few "Infra Red" style photos. See more about infra red photography

Official University of Leicester Video, giving an interesting early insight, and reference to the buildings's "passivhaus" status

Late April 2015

Hoardings Away! - as preparation is made for work on the road junction.

April 16 2015 - Glad to be Clad

Even the plastic sheeting is happy. When the cladding is complete I'll invite the Dave Clarke Five to sing Clad all over

April 14/15 2015

On reflection - New Building reflecting in the old, with non reflecting magnolia either side

University of Leicester Centre for medicine renewal sculpture

The sculpture ‘Renewal’by Diane Maclean, which will represent the Centre for Medicine Project and Appeal, is situated in the Highcross Centre, Leicester, before its eventual move to the Centre for Medicine. For more information about the Sculpture see the University of Leicster press release. To contribute to the appeal, go the "Just Giving" page

Compare and Contrast - The first Blossom of Spring, March 2015 & The last Colours of Autumn , November 2014

Mid February 2015

On the left, the lights are on, on the right of the right, the cladding starts to go on

February 2015 - Is that a balcony or diving board they're installing?

A dusting of snow, January 30 2015

Note now the solitary crane

Nearly Christmas - December 2014

Another comparison shot. A lot has happened on site between March and November 2014

Mid November 2014

Last of the Autumn Colours ?

November 6th 2014

Sunrise over the site, with just a silhouette of the
taller crane visible. Photo taken from Glenfield Road.

November 4th 2014

An excuse to take some more evening/night photos. Leaves are off the trees, more of the building can be seen from the roadside

Time waits for no man, nor does a long reach boom pump, pumping away in the dark.

Mid October 2014, Glazing starts --

Ubiversity of Leicester School of Medicine

October 1st / September 1st 2014

Slightly different viewpoint, but see the progress from September 1st on the left to October 1st to the right



Late September 2014

Three photos without fish

September 19 2014

Three mock fish-eye pics. Not sure I know of any mock fish, pseudocarp perhaps, but that's a strawberry (e.g.)

September 16 2014

Oh Lofty cranes
In your shroud of cloud
I love the cut of your jibs
I wonder, however
(In case of spillage)
Should you be wearing bibs?

September 01 2014

Seats of Learning? The start of a lecture theatre, or random ramp

August 04 2014

As the building gains in height, a large red thing appears on site
(also known as a Long Reach Boom Pump, so I believe)
