To do nothing with the fabric of the building would necessitate
further deterioration to the building and further interior repairs
to be undertaken. This would not be cost effective as it would
result in areas of the building being taken out of use which would
in turn affect future educational requirement of the building. It
could also introduce health and safety risks to users and
staff.
