Leading lights would embrace a domed-ceiling school assembly hall that would nurture and celebrate the children’s sense of place and plant the seeds for new generations of architects and designers.
Wow why isn't something like the restoration of this place, into a home, not on Grand Designs?
What a beautiful building. Such a pity that it must be demolished.

Whats the reason for demolition?

Sad to see it demolished, but if it’s not going to be restored for future use, there is probably no choice with the cost of insurance etc.
The ballroom of romance.
Why don’t we keep the nice things?
Wouldn't it be great to see this restored
When you consider how many premises were bombed during the troubles, it's a shame for a building that was spared that devastation to be demolished given its uniqueness.
Sùnday nights in 60s great memories...sad😂
Shame really, it’s iconic
If they want to build a school on the site can't they save the hall and develop it into the schools main hall loveheritageNI ulsterahs
