Fielding Johnson Building, Administrative building at University of Leicester, England.
The Fielding Johnson Building features late Georgian architecture with symmetrical wings and an early corridor plan layout at the University of Leicester.
Originally constructed in 1837 as the Leicestershire and Rutland County Asylum, the building later served as a military hospital during World War I.
The structure represents the transformation of mental health facilities into educational spaces, marking a significant shift in institutional architecture in Leicester.
The building currently houses the university's administrative offices, faculty of law, and faculty of criminology departments within its historical walls.
Local businessman Thomas Fielding Johnson purchased and donated the building in 1921, establishing the foundation for Leicestershire and Rutland University College.
