Please don't remove the garden in Chichester 1. It is a wonderful space and is a great benefit to the building and people who use it.

No, no, no!
It's our campus, collectively, as staff and students who come here to teach and learn, and to do so in a functional but tranquil environment. The design of our campus remains an astonishing achievement of balance in architecture, landscape and design, suited to the social and living activities for which it was built. We don't need any more concrete. Leave Chichester's Courtyard Garden alone, please!

This is a really unique space on campus and a haven for wildlife. Many people like myself greatly enjoy the peaceful naturalistic environment that this unusual square currently offers and would be devastated to see it paved over.

It's a beautiful bit of the University and there is absolutely no reason to get rid of it – let it stay!

The Chichester1 Courtyard is a haven for birds and staff alike. To concrete it over would make Basil Spence turn in his grave!

They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique
And a swinging hot SPOT
Don't it always seem to go,
That you don't know what you've got
‘Til it's gone
They took all the trees
And put them in a tree museum
Then they charged the people
A dollar and a half just to see 'em

Paving and roofing seems a waste of money and makes poor ecological sense. Having tranquil, quiet spaces and spots for wildlife benefit plants, animals and yes people too.

Chichester 1's courtyard garden is one of the loveliest places on campus. My daughter is especially fond of the pond. Why turn it into something so soulless? More than a pointless waste of money; an act of corporate-mindset vandalism.

Why turn this area into what looks like a shopping mall? Shouldn't the university be more environmentally friendly? The money could be better spent on other projects.

This is one of the few tranquil places left on this busy campus and should be preserved; particularly in view of the wildlife which makes this space its home. Please don't destroy one of the best and most valuable spaces on campus for people, birds, insects and wildlife.

Sussex University campus was all about green spaces when I first came there to study in 1996. Since then it's gradually turned into a concrete jungle - hope this trend is going to stop and that the last few remnants of the original campus (such as this beautiful courtyard) will survive.

Currently the courtyard tranquil place where birds visit. The proposed changes are horrible.

The courtyard is currently one of the most pleasant spots on campus and very central. Losing it would very much detract from the lived environment of many people.

The courtyard is a lovely little spot, one of the only places that still has natural flowers and wildlife. The campus is already ugly enough, why waste more money concreting over a pond and adding a roof when there are already a lot of large indoor buildings to meet?

This is not going to happen. I can imagine an occupation in this space if this is pushed through. They paved paradise and put in a stupid car.

This is the only courtyard on campus with a quiet and natural ambiance, and that can also attract the surrounding wildlife. The suggested changes would alter all this to just another functional and non descriptive area.

Grass and a wildflower meadow would cost next to nothing and be worth a million times more than a paved yard. Students need the money to live.
