Maths and Social Sciences Building, Educational building at University of Manchester, United Kingdom
The Maths and Social Sciences Building is an educational structure at the University of Manchester rising 15 floors with concrete walls and geometric shapes. It contains office spaces for faculty, teaching rooms for classes, and research areas designed for different academic departments.
The building was constructed in 1968 as part of the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology campus expansion. This period marked a time when the university built new modern structures to accommodate growing numbers of students and research needs.
The building houses lecture halls and research spaces where students of mathematics and social sciences work and study together every day. Visitors can see how it shapes academic life and brings different departments under one roof.
Access to the building is through main entrances on campus with clearly marked spaces to help you find your way around. Keep in mind it is an active teaching area, so some spaces may not be open during class hours.
The tower steps away from standard rectangular design and has separate towers at each end with varying floor sizes throughout. This unusual shape makes it visually interesting and gives it a recognizable silhouette on campus.
