Site and Brief
The site is situated on the edge of the city of Manchester and lies within the campus of the University of Salford.
The brief for the building came from the predecessor of the University of Salford towards the end of 1994 and demanded a building which was a "fusion of design and technology" to house the Spatial, Graphic and Industrial Design Department of the university.
Hodder had 11 weeks to finish the design stage and begin development on site in order to ensure the EU grant was eligible.

Famous quotes containing the word site:
“That is a pathetic inquiry among travelers and geographers after the site of ancient Troy. It is not near where they think it is. When a thing is decayed and gone, how indistinct must be the place it occupied!”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
