Fire at Southampton Uni
The clean room at uni burnt down this morning. I’ve just been down to have a look and it’s a complete mess, mainly just the metal work still standing. It’s going to cost a fortune to repair – not to mention all the research that will have been destroyed.

Luckily though, the ECS School building next door is apparently unharmed.

Sorry to read this.

What a pain for those who have lost work. But hopefully no injuries?
