The finned and glass facade of the new Oastler Building, Huddersfield University campus, West Yorkshire

---

Designed by AHR, the £ million Oastler Building, University of Huddersfield form part of the Queensgate campus and houses the University’s Law School and part of the School of Music, Humanities and Media. The six-storey building includes four 300-seat lecture theatres, tutorial spaces, offices, language labs and a Law Court, which are visually and physically connected by an atrium space which provides new and dynamic social spaces for staff and students. The curvaceous three-dimensional form of the building is defined by 42 architectural fins rising over the upper storeys, defining the architectural language of the new academic facilities and allowing glimpses into the building. The external facade has become the new recognisable face of the University.
