Oozells Street Board School was a Victorian board school in Oozells Street, off Broad Street in Birmingham, England. It is a Grade II listed building.[citation needed]
Designed in 1877 by local architects Martin & Chamberlain, responsible for over forty of the Birmingham board schools, it opened on 28 January 1878 to serve 807 primary children.[1]
The building became a college and then a furniture store for Birmingham City Council before being condemned for demolition; in 1976 the tower was demolished on safety grounds.[1]
The structure had a last-minute reprieve as the contract for demolition was being agreed and was renovated by Carillion, including the re-erection of the tower, with a steel girder frame, around 1997.[2] The work cost of £4,700,000[3] and the building reopened in 1998 as the Ikon Gallery.[1]
Since 1993 it has been surrounded by the new buildings of Brindleyplace which replaced an earlier industrial area of factories and workshops.
