Renold Building, Educational structure in Manchester, United Kingdom

The Renold Building features a two-story base supporting a six-story tower made of concrete with a prominent glass-sided stair tower at its center.

The construction, completed in 1962, marked the first building in the United Kingdom specifically designed to house lecture theaters and seminar spaces.

The entrance hall displays a large mural titled Metamorphosis by Victor Pasmore, integrating artistic elements into the educational environment.

The building contains multiple lecture halls of varying capacities, including one 500-seat theater, two 300-seat theaters, and five 140-seat theaters.

The east facade incorporates faceted forms specifically shaped to meet the acoustic requirements of the small lecture theaters within.
