Built as Hollings College in 1959 it was the new home of the 'Hollings Domestic and Trades College', which dated back to 1901. The buildings became part of Manchester Metropolitan University, but the site is now up for sale. The Architect was L.C. Howitt, 1957-60. Nikolaus Pevsner described the building as "a perfect piece of pop architecture". It was Grade II listed in April 1998.
