By Basil Spence, 1957-59. A flush facade with rounded corners, whose painted concrete and grey mosaic cladding "have not aged well" (Pevsner). Out of shot to the right is a low block containing laboratories and lecture theatres - this houses the University of Liverpool's Physics Department and is named, presumably, in honour of James Chadwick, discoverer of the neutron and erstwhile professor of physics at Liverpool.
