- Review underway... Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 16:02, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
- Created (moved from draftspace) on 14th June.
- Long enough, and graded at B-class.
- Decent sources: NHLE listing particulars (extensive), a journal article with more than a passing mention, book about the university (I have checked this via WebArchive) and a couple of newspaper pieces. No issues around notability.
- QPQ review has been done and is awaiting action from the article's nominator. (Edit to say that this is one of the DYK nominations affected by the blocking of the article nominator Evrik as detailed here, which I hadn't realised until checking WT:DYK today.

- Re. The lecture centre was finished in 1966 or 1967: surprising that Historic England has not been able to pin down the completion date, but I have checked the listing particulars and other sources and it is indeed the case.
- Image is suitably licensed, was taken by the article author, is used in the article and looks fine at thumbnail size.
- All statements are sourced. No issues with neutrality.
- No copyvio or close paraphrasing noted. There are a couple of phrases which cannot really be reworded without losing their meaning.
- Hooks: both are fully verified. ALT1 is better; I wonder if it might be worth including a reference to the building's use in A Clockwork Orange to grab attention. Something like: ...that Brunel University's "imposing" and "frightening" lecture centre (pictured) featured in A Clockwork Orange? (another editor would need to sign off that hook).
- Happy to mark this as verified. Note to prep builders: see my comment above on a possible ALT2 hook which I have suggested. Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 21:09, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
