Closed Save Dunelm House (Durham Uni student union), by giving it Grade II listing.

Closed on

The Secretary of State has refused an application from Historic England for Grade II listing. The granting of a Certificate of Immunity is now being considered with the intention that the building be demolished. We would like the Secretary to reconsider Grade II listing status.

It won both a Civic Trust award and the RIBA Bronze Medal 1966. The building has subsequently been praised many times. It needs to be saved as a key piece of architectural herritage.

Catherine Croft, Director of C20 Society: “We consider Dunelm House to be a remarkably intact survivor of its era... ...We are extremely disappointed that the Minister has chosen to disregard the view of her heritage advisers (Historic England) and the Society in making this decision.”
