Fry Building, Grade II listed university building at University of Bristol, England.

The Fry Building houses lecture theaters, teaching rooms, and study spaces within its historical stone walls and modern glass additions.

Constructed in 1880 by architect Charles Francis Hansom, the building received an extension in 1909 under Sir George Oatley's direction.

The structure bears the name of the Fry family, notable members of the Society of Friends who contributed land and funds to the university.

Four main lecture theaters accommodate between 58 and 169 students, equipped with modern audio-visual technology for mathematics education.

The building's glass facade features a Voronoi pattern that functions as a solar shade, while the exterior paving reflects mathematician Paul Dirac's work.
