The only list this should be on is one titled 'To Be Demolished': http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-coventry-warwickshire-33948783

It's a 'marmite' building Lex.

I personally don't like it but I know a few that do. For once, I think the decision is the right one. It's quirky rather than being of architectural significance.

The Elephant got its listing after all. No-one seems to have any idea as what to do with it, though: https://www.coventryobserver.co.uk/news/update-on-coventry-central-baths-future-could-come-soon/

It's literally a white elephant. - A millstone around our necks, that costs us to maintain!

With the Ikea building potentially being filled with 'art', will there be enough left for this building?
