Nan Tait Centre, Grade II listed arts and office building in Barrow-in-Furness, England.
The Nan Tait Centre features a four-story domed tower in the center, constructed with red brick and terracotta materials beneath a slate roof.
Originally built as a technical school in 1903, the building underwent a £4 million renovation in the early 2000s after experiencing deterioration in the 1970s.
The structure displays two large engravings, including one panel depicting six robed females with the motto 'Ars Longa Vita Brevis' on its eastern facade.
The center houses multiple organizations, including Barracudas carnival band, Dare Dance, Capita Symonds, and the Barrow Register Office for various ceremonies.
During World War II, the building remained intact while the neighboring Christ Church received extensive damage from Luftwaffe bombing in April 1941.
