To the naked eye, Imperial College’s massive new tower is nothing short of an iconic landmark. To the nearby residents of the upcoming White City campus tower — the tower is nothing more than annoyance and an extremely tall tower that isn’t needed.
Contractors of the 35-story tower aimed to redesign Imperial College’s newest design in the heart of the popular Kensington District. Imperial still has a growing number of students, including, 17,000 students and around 8,000 staff as a whole.
Local residents tell The Daily News “It’s pretty annoying to see such an unneeded high building in an area already compiled of so many buildings and homes. This was a blatant waste of space” say at least four residents of the area.
Developers of the project which started last year, ehum, refused to comment to the Daily News when contacted for this story.
