My 'Alma Mater' the Gas Research Centre at Loughborough. Built by British Gas (immediately pre-1990 privatisation) for £130M for 1000 staff with expansion room to 1200, and within 13 years of privatisation down to circa 200 staff, foreign-owned (German/Norwegian) and renting just a small part of their formerly-owned building (now owned by Loughborough University as a multi-occupancy 'indoor Science Park' with 20+ occupants). This building is the former conference centre now run as a commercial meetings centre. The buildings in the background are the main bulk of the former research centre.
