The Elephant Building
Location: Coventry, England
Architect: Terence Gregory & Harry Noble
Completed: 1976
Status: Closed in 2020, future uncertain
Brief Overview: The design of the Elephant Building references the coat of arms for the City of Coventry, with elephants being a popular motif around Coventry. It was built on a small area of land left after the construction of Coventry's main leisure and swimming centre, and the ring road development. It straddles the road, and connected via walkway to the original leisure centre- providing additional leisure facilities. While the original centre was Listed in 1997, sadly the Elephant Building never has been, and with both closing in 2020- the future of the Elephant Building remains uncertain.

ALL NON UK ORDERS processed through our Etsy Store HERE
Our concrete sculptures are individually hand cast in solid concrete. This means that each piece will have distinctive markings and minor blemishes due to air bubbles in the concrete. This is a natural part of the material and will mean that no two pieces are ever exactly the same.
