Other Information
- The Birmingham BT Tower is the tallest structure in the city but can not be given the title of the cities tallest building.
- Contrary to popular belief, the Birmingham BT Tower does not contain regular floors through it, and is mainly nothing more than a concrete core with stairways built into it.
- The main concrete core of the tower which makes up a majority of the building is designed to withstand the explosion caused by a 1 Megaton Atomic Bomb being detonated as close as a mile to the tower.
- in 2003, the tower underwent a £10,000,000 refurbishment and was painted white and purple.
- During the refurbishment, lighting was also introduced onto the exterior of the tower and at night it is lit up white, pink and purple.
- As well as this, a weather station was added to the top of the tower and changes colour depending on the climate pressure at the time!
