Faraday Building, University structure in Manchester, England.
The Faraday Building stands as a five-story educational facility with a central section featuring rectangular turrets and cream-colored exterior walls.
The structure, completed in 1967 by architect Harry Fairhurst from H.S. Fairhurst & Son, served as part of the University of Manchester School of Chemistry until 2007.
The building displays a large mural titled 'The Alchemist's Elements' created by artist Hans Tisdall, representing scientific and academic themes.
Following the North Campus closure, the building underwent partial demolition in 2016, with research activities moving to the Chemistry Building on Brunswick Street.
The building's location at 53°28'25"N and 2°14'03"W marks the former site of scientific research in electrochemistry and electromagnetic studies.
