Location 9: Harris Institute - School of Art, Preston

The Harris Institute used to belong to UCLAN. This building is magnificent and would make a great venue for a large scale exhibition. The building seemed to be empty, which is a real shame. I feel if you used a venue like this it would be rather grand and would really be an event. I have visions of large scale projections across the front of the building. There was no information about what is going to happen to this building, the only information I managed to find out that it had been bought off UCLAN by a private company. I personally think it is a real shame that thsi building is not being used and doesnt belong to UCLAN anymore.

  1. This was a very spontaneous idea. 1 of which wouldnt work i dont feel. which is a shame, as this used to be a part of UCLan and it would of been really nice to have the show there. the space inside is very big. even if we were to have a single room of the building there would be alot of possibilites of what to do and how to lay the show out. but this location is out of the way and this i feel would deter people from visiting.
