Morning Glow

            I just love this building, it is now used by the University of Manchester and has counted 23 Nobel Prize winners amongst their former staff and students. I know it's not picturesque or an amazing landscape, but I just marvel at something like this.... 

The Sackville Street Building is a blend of 19th and early 20th century styles. The opulent main entrance on Sackville Street gives access to the Entrance Hall, which is a traditional venue for buffets and receptions with its stained glass windows and lofty ceiling.

In 1927 plans had been drawn up to extend the Sackville Street Building. The construction had started in 1938 but was significantly slowed by the Great Depression and the Second World War; the expansion was finally finished in 1957. 

The conclusion of the building expansion coincided with the college receiving its own independent University status in 1956 and from 1966 it became known as the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology (UMIST). In 2004, UMIST merged with the Victoria University of Manchester and became part of The University of Manchester
