Centenary Building, Modern architectural structure at University of Salford, England.
The Centenary Building features clean lines, glass panels, and steel framework, creating a modern educational facility for design students at the University of Salford.
The building, completed in December 1995 by architect Stephen Hodder, marked a new direction in British educational architecture through its contemporary design approach.
The structure represents a milestone in British architecture as the first recipient of the RIBA Stirling Prize in 1996, setting standards for educational buildings.
The building accommodates specialized spaces for Spatial, Graphic, and Industrial Design courses, with dedicated studios and workshops across multiple levels.
Despite its architectural significance and RIBA Stirling Prize recognition, the Centenary Building faces demolition plans less than three decades after its construction.
