Looking up towards the main entrance of the condemned Maths building, with 'Mathematics Building' sign. The building behind has already been destroyed. The demolition vehicle on the right continues its work.

I understand the reasons for demolishing the Maths building but there is still something shocking about a university ordering the destruction of one of its most interesting and unique builidngs.
