Manchester School of Art, Manchester, United Kingdom. Architect: Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios LLP, 2013. Exterior view.

This is an historic site, near the city centre; adjacent to the original School of Art, the Grosvenor Building, which was built in 1880 and included LS Lowry among former students. A highly visible new vertical gallery space creates a new 'Window on the Arts' for the Faculty. It includes a spectacular new entrance gallery, circulation and exhibition zone, and provides strong linkages both vertically and horizontally between the existing Chatham Tower and the new building. The gallery space acts as a shop window providing a showcase for the Faculty of Art and Design to the University and the City, while the hybrid studio spaces beyond offer flexible and adaptable space, appropriate for the changing needs of 21st century Arts education.
