An interesting building consisting of a main block with windows set back deeply in boxy modules above a projecting base. By Cruickshank & Seward, 1962. Built for the University of Manchester Institute for Science and Technology to provide a variety of lecture theatres. As far as I know it fulfils the same function for the new merged University of Manchester. The projecting floor appeared to house a bar.
