The Williamson Building is located on Oxford Road at the corner with Brunswick Street. It houses the Williamson Research Centre, a range of research laboratories and equipment for investigating our environment and the effect of human behaviour upon environmental systems. The building is part of Manchester University and is one of a number of similar-styled buildings dating from the university’s expansion in the first half of the 1960s and is named for Professor William Crawford Williamson FRS, the eminent Victorian scientist who was appointed as the first Professor of Natural History (Geology, Zoology and Botany) at Manchester in 1851.
