History of LSBU

Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone can shed any light on the history of London South Bank University at the Elephant and Castle?
Having worked there as a contractor I was interested in the design of the building in London Road, to me and some of my colleagues it resembles a prison! Would anyone know if there is indeed a link or what the origins of the building are?
Many thanks in advance.
