The Guardian's architecture and design critic Oliver Wainwright has been to check out the University of Greenwich's new building in Stockwell Street. He says the new addition to Greenwich is a good building "that could have been a truly great one." He adds: He blames compromises in response to input from various points of the planning stage for turning it in to "generic developer filler". Wainwright is more generous about the interior: "The spectacular new facilities unfold in spaces that somehow manage to incorporate lofty ceiling heights into what is not a tall building."

What do you think of the new university building?
Design wise it's okay, but my God it's far too big. If I was the owners of the homes on the other side (the back) I wouldn't be too pleased to see that at the bottom of the garden
