Artist’s impression of how the new extension will look
The University of Manchester has revealed its proposals for an extension to its physics and astronomy building. These will allow the University to improve the student experience, diversify recruitment, enhance transferable skills and increase employability of its students. It will also accommodate the recent growth in STEM-Foundation and Physics and Astronomy undergraduates. The £11.5m Schuster Annexe, part of the University's £1 billion Campus Masterplan, will be built on unoccupied land on the corner of Upper Brook Street and Brunswick Street in Manchester and will adjoin the Schuster Building, where the revolutionary material graphene was isolated by Nobel-prize winning Professors Andre Geim and Kostya Novoselov. The annexe will provide seamless connections with the academics and students occupying other parts of the Schuster Building. The University will submit a planning application for the proposals later this month. Professor Martin Schröder, Vice-President and Dean of the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences, said:”The Schuster Annexe development continues the University's drive to invest in new core facilities to improve teaching and learning for our students.
