Naval gazing

Article Abstract:

The Western Morning News building in Plymouth, England, which was completed in Jan 1993 at a cost of 15 million pounds sterling, has attracted considerable controversy because of its transparent ship-shaped design. However, it has been found to be a generally comfortable building to work in, with efficient air conditioning and high quality staff amenities. Many staff enjoy working in such an architecturally unique building, but it has been found difficult to maintain.
