The Mond laboratory should be reassigned to high importance. As an alumna of the university and a Cambridgeshire resident, I know that this is a much-loved building rich with symbolism and the history of the great science on this site. The complex of the Cavendish and the two Mond buildings is iconic and the consultants appear to have made their assessment with no understanding of the importance of this place in the history of ideas. Surely this is what the heritage of Cambridge is all about? The modernist parts of the complex are also attractive.
