Description
|
Work
is progressing on the new building for the School
of Chemical Engineering and Analytical
Science. This is phase one of a structure
that will eventually fill in the block on the
corner of Booth Street East and Upper Brook
Street.
The
University of Manchester website says this of
the new building:
"The proposed five
storey building will accommodate research
facilities and teaching laboratories for post
graduates and undergraduates, as well as
enquiry based learning facilities (EBL) and
academic offices.
The construction,
measuring around 11,500 square metres is set
to take place in two phases. Work is scheduled
to start on a £11.5 million initial phase in
May 2010, to be completed by Summer 2011,
followed by an £18.5 million second phase.
The building,
which will house a sophisticated industrial
pilot plant, is part of the University’s
overall £650 million construction programme –
considered to be the biggest ever carried out
within the UK Higher Education sector.
The new structure
will stand on the corner of Booth Street East
and Upper Brook Street – just a short distance
south of the site where the School of Chemical
Engineering and Analytical Science is
currently located."
