MMU Aytoun Library
New build Library for MMU in Manchester city centre.
-
The new library and information technology building for the Manchester Metropolitan University on their Aytoun Street campus provided the institution with its first new academic building in almost two decades.
The brief called for the design to be efficient and to announce the institution’s recent elevation to university status. The building worked as a contemporary addition to MMU’s site and completed the urban composition of the UMIST building and the former Sheena Simon College within the conservation area around Whitworth Street.
