Great Hall of the University of Leeds, Gothic Revival building at University of Leeds, England
The Great Hall features red pressed brick construction with Bolton Wood stone dressings, incorporating detailed Gothic architectural elements throughout its structure.
Constructed in 1894 at a cost of £22,000, the Great Hall initially served as the university library until the Brotherton Library opened in 1936.
The hall maintains its role as the central location for graduation ceremonies, examinations, and formal university gatherings throughout the academic year.
The venue accommodates 200 guests for formal dinners and extends its capacity to 350 people for receptions and exhibitions in its restored space.
The building stands on the former site of Beech Grove Hall Estate, which Yorkshire College purchased in 1879 before joining Victoria University.
