The Faraday Building is a university building in centralManchester. It is part of the campus of the formerUniversity of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology.
The Faraday Building's architect was Harry Fairhurst, of the long-established Manchester firm of H.S. Fairhust & Son. It was constructed in 1967 by J. Gerrard & Sons.
The building housed, until mid-to-late 2007, part of theUniversity of Manchester School of Chemistry. The School of Chemistry is now located mainly at the Chemistry Building on Brunswick Street, however a significant number of former Faraday-based academics researching biologically related chemistry are now based in the nearbyManchester Interdisciplinary Biocentre.
Appropriately, given its chemistry roots, the building housed a mural calledThe Alchemist's Elements (1967) byHans Tisdall.[1]
As part of the closure of the North Campus, the building was closed in 2015, and partially demolished in 2016.
