CNN has confirmed the planned demolition of Stephen HoddersRIBA Stirling Prize-winning Centenary Building at the University of Salford. A spokesperson from the university told the network: "While the Centenary Building has been part of our university estate for a number of decades, unfortunately its ageing infrastructure means it no longer meets modern standards and requirements. It has now been vacant for a third of its built life."Speaking to his former client's plans for the building, which was the first RIBA Stirling winner in 1996, Hodder toldAJ: "For a university that promotes its sustainability credentials, the intention to demolish surely undermines the credibility of its policy. We urge it to reconsider, and hope the architectural community and wider industry collectively exclaim its concerns."University administrators had previously floated the idea of repurposing it into a K-12 facility before deciding on the demolition.

WhenMortal Kombat 1sexpansion,Khaos Reigns, launched in September, in addition to a new story campaign, it also brought three new characters, along with the promise of three more guest DLC fighters to arrive in the coming weeks. The first of that group, Ghostface fromScream, is set to launch later this month, ahead of which WB Games has released a new gameplay trailer showcasing what the knife-wielding killer will bring to the table.As youd expect, Ghostfaces moveset is heavily reliant on his deadly knife and his vicious slashing skills, combined with his ability to call in other Ghostfaces to his aid. His Fatality, meanwhile, is suitably horrific, as he sneaks up on Johnny Cage as hes playingMortal Kombat 1and brutally stabs him in the back (while Ghostface executes a Fatality on-screen in Johnnys game as well). Check out the trailer below.Mortal Kombat 1is available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Ghostface will join the games roster on November 26, but early access will kick off on November 19 for owners of the expansion, its bundle, or the Kollection.
